Products description

 

Here is a nice „welsh  flat fish”  that is actually a Trilobite from the family of  Asaphidae.
But in the early years of the palaeontology was this fossil described as a “unusual flat fish” from the small village Llandeilo in South Wales.  This sympatric misinterpretation makes  
reverend Dr. Edward Lhwyd some kind of famous in the world of palaeontology.
