Hi,

I found this cephalon in 2010 at the Buchava site in Czech and would like to know more about it (Ptychoparioides ...?). I hope you can help me to identify.

 

thanks in advance,

Ptychoparioides should have a narrower anterior border, a conical instead of a trapezoidal glabella and obscure genal caeca.

This specimen with a wide anterior border and well defined genal caeca matches better with the diagnosis of: Ptychoparia sp.

(Ptychoparia dubinka is shown for comparison of similar features)
