After a two year hiatus a fifth trilobite has recently been named in my honor. This time the Great German Trilobitologist: Ulrich Flick has bestowed Chotecops morrisoni upon yours truly. The holotype for C. morrisoni was discovered in the Devonian (lower Eifelian) Günterod Limestone of Günterod, Germany. In 1971 Professor Ivo Chlupáč established the new taxon Chotecops named for the type locality of the Chotec Limestone of the Czech Republic. Most fossil aficionados are familiar with Chotecops ferdinandi originating from the roofing tiles of the Hunsrück Slate: a classic trilobite that evokes images of golden pyritized specimens that collectively have preserved a complete record of their antennae and post-antennal limbs. I'm absolutely delighted to share this special 'high five' moment of this phenomenal new member of the Phacopinae with you all! mail?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.yimg.com%2Fok
