3.25" Unusual Subasaphus Laticaudatus Trilobite - Russia
This is one of the more rarely seen species of Asaphus from the St. Petersburg region of Russia. It is a 3.25" long Subasaphus laticaudatus. It has a dark, caramel colored shell and it looks like it is ready to crawl off of the rock. The hypostome or mouthplate has been exposed on the underside of the trilobite.
Like nearly all the trilobites available from this area there is some shell restoration where the shell faked during collection or was weathered. It appears to be about 2-3% in total, mainly along cracks 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.
