1.84" Huntonia Lingulifer - Rare Species!

This is an long-spined Huntonia lingulifer trilobite from the famous Black Cat Mountain in Oklahoma. It was collected and prepared by the master himself Bob Carroll this past year.

Huntonia lingulifer is MUCH rarer than the other species of Huntonia in the same horizon at Black Cat Mountain. Less than one in ten of the Huntonia's found are lingulifer, so on average there may only be one or two good complete specimen found each year. One of the main characteristics that separate it from the other species of Huntonia at the locality is the much longer pygidial (tail) spine.

It has wonderful eye facet preservation and there is signs of a healed injury on the upper-left pleural spines.
