Six-Pack Trilobite
piranha posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
After a two year hiatus another amazing trilobite has recently been named in my honor. This time the Great German Trilobitologist: Martin Basse has bestowed Koneprusia morrisoni upon yours truly. The holotype for K. morrisoni was discovered in the Devonian (late Upper Emsian) Leun Shale of Löhnberg, Germany. The genus Koneprusia was established by Prantl & Přibyl 1949, based on the original description of Acidaspis fuscina Novák 1883, and named for the village of Koněprusy near Beroun; a classic locality of the Devonian fauna of the Czech Republic. The title 'Six-Pack Trilobite' is quite apropos: it was six years ago in 2017 when I was first informed of this new species, and now by luck of the draw, the sixth species to carry my name. As all trilobite aficionados are familiar with Koneprusia originating from Morocco, I'm very grateful to have the privilege to share this spectacular spiny variant from Deutschland.
