I bought a matrix with more Ellipsocephalus hoffi at the auction. Origin: Jince, Czech Republic.


I haven't received the plate yet, but in the photos I noticed something that looks like the cephalon of a trilobite larger than Ellipsocephalus (red arrow in the photos).
The dimensions of the matrix are 27 x 12 x 4 cm.

 

Does anyone know what this is about?
I probably won't bother you with similar questions this year, the piggy bank is empty. :-)

I would be fairly confident to label it Paradoxides gracilis.

Hydrocephalus is another large paradoxidid associated with Ellipsocephalus in the Jince Fm.
