Photograph of the P. clerci holotype

Latest comment: 12 days ago2 comments1 person in discussion

The type specimen for this genus is on public display in the Orlov/Moscow Paleontological Museum, and while many photos from this museum are available on commons already, none seem to contain the P. clerci whorl. It is located, I believe, in the Late Paleozoic exhibit hall alongside the partial whorl of an Edestus, if the (non CC) photo I have seen of the exhibit is still accurate. If any paleo editors are living in/visiting Moscow, it would be massively appreciated if you could snap a photo of the whorl as I suspect it would improve the quality of the article significantly. It is labeled "(Parahelicoprion clerci (Karpinsky))" and consists of six partial tooth crowns. Gasmasque (talk) 19:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

As of 1976, at least, a cast of the holotype was also at the Krasnoufimsk Museum of Local Lore, and may still be displayed there. Gasmasque (talk) 21:52, 23 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
