Acanthopyge
Extinct genus of trilobites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acanthopyge is an extinct genus of lichid trilobite that lived during the Devonian. Very few A. consanguinea from the Devonian of Oklahoma have been found, and only a handful of complete specimens from Morocco, and many so-called Acanthopyge-specimens from Morocco are fake.[2][3]
