Trig Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Any and all opinions most welcome...From what I've read I believe (hope) it is indeed real...and in pretty good shape... I have to think this Little Monster was there for a reason...And What A Fine Grand Face...I'm still amazed that this little guy is probably the better part of 350myo...So...after "A Long Strange Trip" it's got a new home... Thanks Much for taking a look see...I do hope it's real...2" Long "Coltraenia"...I think I got the name right...? Best Regards...Trig That's "Coltraneia"...please see below...

doushantuo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 That would be Coltraneia*,an asteropygid .Does anyone know if that species is named after John Coltrane(of Giant Steps fame)? *Supernumerary pygidial rings ,axial constriction between 6th and 7th pleural furrow,eyes with 12 lenses per file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prem Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Yes, it is named for John Coltrane...I read it in the paper that first describes the genus. That is a nice looking Coltraneia...probably oufatenensis. ---Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rather fond of the Mad Hatter & The March Hare...If I see a good looking "Rabbit Hole" I'm bound to jump in... And I do note you did give me Fair Warning in a previous post...but my knowledge on the subject is so limited... I just couldn't resist the opportunity to learn... For others who might be curious...Here's your "Fair Warning"...Ya' better polish up the Ol' Goggles... http://www.academia.edu/14061681/The_systematics_and_phylogeny_of_the_Devonian_subfamily_Asteropyginae_Trilobita_Phacopida_ I think my fascination with Fractal Images is easier on the eyes...It's always hard to resist just one more iteration...

Trig Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 I originally stopped in to say "Thank You"...for your confirmations and comments...easily distracted...I think I did AOK...

prem Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The original description of Coltraneia, including its etymology, with the type species being Coltraneia celtica (revised from Treveropyge celtica), can be found in the following paper:EVOLUTIONARY ANDBIOGEOGRAPHIC PATTERNSIN THE ASTEROPYGINAE(TRILOBITA, DEVONIAN)DELO, 1935BRUCE S. LIEBERMANPostdoctoral Fellow, Department of InvertebratesAmerican Museum of Natural HistoryDepartment of Organismic and Evolutionary BiologyHarvard UniversityCambridge, MassachusettsGERALD J.

We have established recently, via photographs of my specimen of C. oufatenensis, that members of the genus can have as many as 15 lenses per file. ---Prem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Prem...Thanks Very Much...I had seen the reference to J. Coltrane somewhere...Coltraneia...Won't forget that I'm sure... I said "that little monster was there for a reason"...well...I think the "Rabbit Hole" is getting deeper...It's the little things... TREVEROPYGE CELTICA...I swear, I changed my Avatar before reading your post...Old Friends...Downieville, CA... I'm a 5th Generation Californian...Of Cornish Descent...Celtica...???...Tre...???...Trig...???... There's an old saying..."Tre, Pol or Penn, they all must be Cornish Men"...Oh really... Celtic..."Wild Haired Barbarians With Winged Eye Brows"...My Father's Eye Brows were amazing... Sounds like my Little Monster was a Cornish Trilobite who preferred hang'in around in Alluvial Gold...

piranha Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The holotype of Coltraneia celtica is quite interesting. It's encrusted with coral (Aulopora). figures from Morzadec 1969: Morzadec, P.
