Wafflero27 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Hey guys, I was hoping to get some help trying to identify the species. Bought this pygidium on a rock/mineral shop, they said it was from Alnif, Morocco. What sold me on getting this was the size. The pygidium is 2 inches / 5cm long. I think it looks similar to the pygidium of something like Odontochile, so based on the proportions, the complete individual would’ve been ~6 inches/ 15cm, which would make for a huge one, from my understanding. I appreciate any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
