CAESAR Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Species of Olenoides have been described from many parts of the world, but only a few complete specimens have been found. This trilobite is one of my collection, a Olenoides from China, very rare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicranurus Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Welcome to the froum. Really nice Olenoides. It is first Olenoides from China what I have seen.
