Kurufossils Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Receiving an unprep Acanthopyge sp, the tail does not look like the typical Acanthopyge tail from just doing a quick image search. Definitely looks lichid but I'm wondering does this piece match any of the described species of Acanthopyge? Thats if it is one in the first place of course. Below is some information. AGE Middle Devonian (~393 Million Years) LOCATION Jbel Issomour, South Morocco FORMATION Jbel Issomour Middle Devonian Outcrops Would like to get this specimen preped one day as due to a medical condition I cannot prep and reveal anything further myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurufossils Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 @piranha Thank you very much its pretty much an exact match! All the intial information was wrong but in this case I don't actually mind since I'm extremely fond of lichas trilobites compared to others. So unexpectedly more happy than if it was Acanthopyge.
