Vendor: Fossil Soup
SKU Number: SQ1865881
This is a beautiful example of a classic Devonian trilobite from the Haragan Formation of Oklahoma. This specimen of Kettneraspis williamsi was found and prepared by Bob Caroll of Black Cat Mountain Trilobites and has a date of 09 on the back of the matrix.
The free cheeks are tight against the cranidium, the genal and pleural spines are long and complete, the eyes are perfect and the distinctive frill has been carefully prepared in the lab. The occipital spine at the back of the cephalon is also nicely developed. This is a reasonably large example with a body length of about 13/16 inches (See photo) - with spines, the length is approximately 1 3/16 inches.

Additional Information
The trilobites of the Haragan Formation in Oklahoma are very similar to those found in the Devonian deposits of Morocco more than 5000 miles away. During the Devonian period about 420 million years ago both localities were on a similar equatorial plane. The rocks of the Haragan and Bois d'Arc formations are part of the Hunton Group that consists of carbonate limestone deposits.
