Casts (most likely) of three trilobite species from the Devonian.


PLEASE NOTE: On researching keywords for this fossil, I have learned that these are most likely casts of three separate fossils, not the fossils themselves, combined into one piece. I do not own the piece and no longer have access to it, so I can't check, but it would apparently be very unusual for three species to appear together like this (and they would probably sell for much more than was being asked!). While it would probably be wrong to present this as actual fossils, if described as casts they can still be useful as an efficient way to illustrate trilobite diversity. The piece shows three species of Devonian trilobite (clockwise from top left): Paralejurus dormetzi, Cyphaspis sp., and Zilchovaspis (Odontochile) sp.
