3.45" Stalk-Eye, Asaphus Intermedius Trilobite - Russia
This is a stalk-eyed, 3.45" long Asaphus intermedius trilobite from the St. Petersburg region of Russia. This is one of the more uncommon of the asaphus species and is quite large. It is laid out perfectly prone and has been prepared nicely so that it looks like it is ready to crawl off the rock.
Like nearly all of the trilobites available from these quarries it has some shell restoration as the shell tends to flake during collection. There is about 15% shell restoration the bulk of it on 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.
