Trilobite - Caparazón fósil - Metacanthina issoumourensis - Nice display
This is afinely detailed Metacanthina.
Compound eyes in living arthropods such as insects are very sensitive to motion, and it is likely that they were similarly important in predator detection in trilobites.
Trilobite eyes, in contrast, had rigid, crystalline lenses, and therefore no accommodation.
In this specimen all the lenses are preserved. Imagine that each lens bears an individual cornea
lenses separated from each other.
These eyes offered 360-degree vision to the trilobite. To think that this happened 380 million years ago seems impossible.
Compound eyes are a marvel of nature.
Genuine trilobite, well prepared with genal and pygidial spines.
Small restoration . All these trilobites are found breaking in half the matrix then glueing the matrix.
In this specimen the glueing line is less visible in person.
Plate is 10 x 9 cm
Trilobite is 6,5cm large.
All items are carefully wrapped and protected to reach you safely.
