3.3" Paralejurus Trilobite - Huge Specimen
At 3.3" long this is a monster Paralejurus. This trilobite averages around 2 inches in length. Not only is it large but it's well inflated and prepared. The hundreds of tiny eye facets are even preserved and can be seen particularly well in the left eye (check out the zoomed in photo!).
There is about 3-5% shell restoration, primarily along the repaired crack through the tail.

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.
