Notes

This is an undescribed Odontopleurid from Jorf. It has some similarities to Koneprusia but is different enough that it is likely to placed in a new genus.

This trilobite was hard to photograph because of the way it wraps around the rock. The hypostome is exposed but I couldn't take a photograph showing this. The right eye is well preserved and, unusual for an Odontopleurid, shows the lenses of the eye.
