This is an extremely rare spiny trilobite. It is a distinct Ceratonurus sp. from the Devonian of Oklahoma. This specimen came from the Eugene Thomas Collection. This type of trilobite has long eye stalks and extremely thin occipital spines (''horns''), which have been meticulously prepared in a free-standing manner on this specimen. The bug is somewhat inflated and exhibits very good detail - even the tiny ''fringes'' of the free cheeks and tail are seen. The caramel-colored trilobite contrasts strikingly with the light-colored matrix plate. The bug is very well displayed on the sculpted block of marlstone. This is a very affordable example of one of the most sought-after trilobites from Oklahoma.
