Some Trilobites: Deanaspis goldfussi, Ordovician, CZ

Product information "Some Trilobites: Deanaspis goldfussi, Ordovician, CZ"

Small, extremely detailed positiv and negativ preserved trilobites from  the preserve deposit of the Letna Formation in Bohemia, displaying the typically vibrant orange coloring. The rostral plate and cheeks (librigena) form a wide and flat marginal surface freckled with small pustules. Deanaspis often appears in association with the more common Dalmatina, both of which thrived in a shallow marine community. Its wide shape ensured that it did not sink into the soft sediment.

Age: Ordovician, Sandbian, Letna Fm.;
Locality: Prague, Czech Republic
Size: fossil: approx. 1,2 x 1 cm; slab: approx. 7 x 10  cm


The original specimen may differ slightly in color from the pictures showed here due to technical reasons.

Two small, exquisitely detailed trilobites from the conservation deposit of the Bohemian Letna Formation displaying their typical bright orange-golden coloration. The rostral plate (rostrum) and the free cheeks (librigena) form a large seam studded with pustules. Deanaspis occurs with the more common Dalmatina in the same faunal community, which was deposited in the shallow water area. The body width prevented it from sinking into soft sediment.Age: Ordovician, Sandbian, Letna Fm;Locality: Prague, Czech RepublicSize fossil: 1.2 x 1 cm; matrix: 8 x 6.5 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen due to technical reasons.
