Rarity: Cyphaspis ceratophtalmus, Devonian; GER

Product information "Rarity: Cyphaspis ceratophtalmus, Devonian; GER"

Absolute rarity from the German Eifel: Cyphaspis ceratophthalmus (previously designated Otarion ceratophthalmum) is the type species of Cyphaspis.

Beautiful small trilobite Cyphaspis ceratophthalmus with well-preserved facet eyes and spines.
This piece can no longer be found today and originates from an old collection, so this is a unique opportunity!

The “Pelm-Salmer Weg” site near the little village of Gees served as a type locality for many classic trilobite finds and is one of the most famous localities for trilobites. The area was designated a nature reserve in 1987 with the main aim of protecting the fossil-bearing sediment layers. Collecting there is now banned.

Age: Middle Devonian, Eifelian, Ahrdorf Formation;
Locality: Pelm-Salmer Weg, Gees (Gerolstein), Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Size trilobite: approx.1,7 cm; matrix: 2,7 cm x 2,5 x 2,5 cm

Colors on product photos may differ slightly from the original specimen for technical reasons.
