2.55" Asaphus Holmi Trilobite - Scare Asaphid
This is one of the harder to find Asaphid trilobites from the St. Peterburg region of Russia, Asaphus holmi . It's got some of the longer stalk eyes of the Asaphus, though not as long as Asaphus kowalewskii.
This particular specimen has no restoration which is quite unusual for Russian asaphid trilobites who's shell likes to flake off during collection.

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.
