3.25" Pseudoasaphus Janischewskyi Trilobite - Russia
This is a 3.25" long example of the Middle Ordovician trilobite, Pseudoasaphus janischewskyi. It comes from the Vilpovitsy quarry near St. Petersburg, Russia and is nicely prepared. The back and one edge of the surrounding limestone have been cut flat for ease of display.
There is some restoration that goes from the tail to the head. About 20% through a diagonal crack in the shell.

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.
