3" Spiny Comura Trilobite - Top Quality Specimen
This is a large, fantastically-prepared Comura bultyncki which would be around 3" long if it was outstretched. It is quite large for the species and is a top quality specimen. Just check out the shell detail including eye facets and dozens of free-standing spines. Probably 60-80 hours of prep work went into this marvelous specimen.
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.
