IsaacTheFossilMan Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Would you be able to take more in focus images? And maybe a scale, just in case there's any ambiguity there! ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

The name Lepidoproetus has subsequently been reclassified as Phaetonellus for the German taxa. Phaetonellus is reported at the upper Emsian Dill-Mulde, but the pleurae have spiny terminations as well as a complement of spines on the pygidium. Basse, M., Müller, P. 1998.
