1.33" Wide, Enrolled Asaphus Minor Trilobite - Russia
This is a 1.33" wide, enrolled Asaphus minor trilobite. Asaphus minor is one of the rarer of the 30+ Asaphus species from the area, in fact I think it's the first example we have had. This cute trilobite would be just over 2" long if outstretched.
About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
