AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here is one of the wonders we owe to new preparation techniques: a Psychopyge elegans from the Devonian, 416/359 million years ago. After dozens and dozens of hours of work to separate each of the cephalic, thoracic, and pygidial spines, it is over 80% original, with reconstruction of the end of the median frontal spine and a fragment of the right antero-lateral portion of the glabella, size 17.3 × 11.5 cm. A very rare and exceptional piece, will be sent with strong protection.
