Notes

This is the largest Calymenid I know of.

This was sold as Pradoella tazzarinensis, but the Fossil Forum's local trilobite expert has told me:

"This one should be labeled Pradoella sp. Unfortunately, the name Pradoella tazzarinensis is nomen nudum.

It has not been formally published with a systematic description. It exists only in an unpublished PhD thesis."
