Trilobites
Order Lichida, Family Odontopleuridae
Geologic
Time: Lower Devonian
Size: 27
mm
Fossil
Site: Haragan Formation, Coal County, Oklahoma
Description:
Well-preserved example of a member of the Order Lichida, Family
Odontopleuridae, with dramatically-displayed genal spines with minute
subspines, a feature not often preserved intact. One of the reasons
for the fine preservation is the fact that this trilobite was prepared
by Bob Carroll, a world-reknowed preparator of Oklahoma Devonian
trilobites. Even the tiny nodes of spines on the pleural lobes can
be seen.
