Mazon Creek Best Of The Best Liomesaspis Laevis Raymond
RCFossils posted a topic in Member Collections
There are currently 3 recognized species of horseshoe crab known from the Mazon Creek deposit. Of these 3, Liomesaspis is the rarest. They are only known from the Braidwood (non marine) portion of the deposit. The most defining feature is the bulbous cardiac lobe. The few specimens that I have seen are often poorly preserved.- 16 replies
