Manospondylus Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Anyone know what species this is? It's a mud trilobite from Hunan province and more specifically in Xiangxi. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I wonder if that slab of rock is part of the Cephalon. Don't know if showing the ventral side is helpful.Posterior view.

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Looks very similar to the Moroccan Colpocoryphe with smooth pygidial flanks, or, if that's weathered, then Flexicalymene. Anyway, it's a Calymenid. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I also agree with @Tidgy's Dad, my first impression is it is a calymenid.

Wrangellian Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yes, that one looks like one of the common Flexicalymene trilobites that come out of Morocco. Are you sure it's from Hunan? Did you find it yourself or acquire it from someone else who might have given you incorrect information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manospondylus Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) I didn't find it myself so it might be incorrect information. The seller thinks it is a Coronocephalus but im not sure on that. Edited November 8, 2019 by Manospondylus Adding some stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 It is not Coronocephalus or I'm a budgie's uncle. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
