Supposed Parahomalontus Trilobite


Recommended Posts

I found this trilo for sale online, seller claims the species is Parahomalontus however I cannot find much info on this species. Can anyone help me ID this trilo and tell whether or not it is fake? Thanks.

It seems real, and has since been moved to a new genus, Wenndorfia planus by Sandford in 2005:

 

Sandford, A.C. (2005) Homalonotid trilobites from the Silurian and Lower Devonian of south-eastern Australia  and New Zealand (Arthropoda: Trilobita: Homalonotidae). Memoirs of the National Museum Victoria 62(1):1-66.

 

Although the genus Parahomalontus has still been used by other trilobite workers in subsequent research.
