| description |
|
| Xyloiulus is an extinct genus of millipede and are incredibly scarce from this world famous Carboniferous locality, which has been long backfilled. This particular millipede is extra special as it has nearly all its minute legs preserved, under magnification these are truly magnificent. This arthropod is approximately 320 million years old. This specimen will be an amazing addition for the serious and discerning collector. These fossils from this special locality are preserved in extremely hard nodules. This millipede resided in the late professor GORDON WALKDEN collection. Fossils Direct are a premium collectors website. Supersized images can be seen under Showcase Fossils |
