5.05" Paraceraurus Trilobite From Russia

This is a spectacular Paraceraurus exsul trilobite quarried from the Vilpovitsy quarry, near St. Petersburg Russia. It's good sized for this rare species at just over 5 inches in length. This beautiful trilobite has been expertly prepared, with it's long sweeping genal spines free of the matrix. It's a very aesthetic and impressive trilobite.

Like basically all of these Russian trilobites, it does have some restoration, about 10% (a pretty typical amount). The tips of the two long tail spines are restored as they were running off the edge of the rock. The left genal spine/cheek is a composite and the very tip of the right genal spine is restored.
