This is a beautiful plate of unusual trilobites. There is a wonderful Zlichovaspis rugosa and two unusual Reedops sp. (one complete, one missing the cephalon) on the slab. This amazing fossil was expertly prepared under a microscope in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. Reedops sp. is an unusual type of Phacopid trilobite (used to be called Cryphops) that has a smooth glabella and small compound eyes, which are positioned very low, towards the front of the cephalon. The low-slung eyes are wonderfully showcased on this specimen - almost all of the individual lenses are very clearly defined. There is also an excellent Zlichovaspis rugosa on the plate. This trilobite is nicely outstretched and well articulated. All three bugs have great detail and display beautifully. And this is a natural triple - all three specimens are preserved as they were when they were buried millions of years ago. This is a very collectible multiple plate of two different types of Devonian trilobites.
