Here is a complete Cordania falcata from the Devonian of Oklahoma. This specimen was acquired from the Eugene ThomasCollection. The trilobite is inflated and exhibits fine detail. Both free cheeks and genal spines are intact and tight, which is quite unusual. Under magnification, the extremely small granules can be seen on the cephalon of the trilobite. The individual thoracic segments are quite evident, and the pygidium is present and well displayed. The beautiful cream-colored bug contrasts nicely with the lighter-colored matrix. The fossil is well showcased on the semi-squared block of limestone that also has a brachiopod preserved near the tail of the trilobite. This is an excellent specimen of a prone Cordania falcata.
