Guest11596 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) In a million years I would never imagine such a great reward for the research that brings so much fulfillment to every day. How about 477.7 ± 1.4 to 470.0 ± 1.4 million? Congratulations, Scott! Edited July 17, 2014 by middevonian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Congrats! I am no trilo expert but I have seen none like it so far so to me it certainly looks distinctive enough to be a new genus. I can see why people like the bugs, there is an endless variety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 A couple of updates to report. I was very fortunate to acquire this excellent specimen to compliment my holotype cast replica. Best of all, Kierarges morrisoni is listed in the Fezouata faunal assemblage of this recent paper: Van Roy, P., Briggs, D.E.G., & Gaines, R.R. (2015) The Fezouata fossils of Morocco; an extraordinary record of marine life in the Early Ordovician.
