Product Details

Offered is a superb, very complete, well preserved and professionally prepared dorsal headshield of the Lower Devonian Ostracoderm Stensiopelta pustulosa, from the Dneister Fm (Lochovian/Pragian) of Ustrechko, Turnopil Oblast, Podolia Ukraine.

At 12cm across the long cornual processes, this is a good sized specimen that retains much of the intricately patterned shell material intact, a distinct, low dorsomedial crest and orbits that are evident. The matrix is approx.16cm X 9cm X 3.5cm, and contains a well preserved 5cm fragment of another armoured fish headshield that is probably conspecific.Numerous other ostracoderm fragments also litter the matrix.

Affordable price for such an impressive and displayable example of a complete dorsal shield of this elegant species.

Welcome to Ace Fossils

Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.

I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.

If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
