.8" Very Inflated, Flexicalymene Trilobite - LaPrairie, Quebec
This is a very nice, Flexicalymene trilobite from LaPrairie, Quebec. It is .8" long, quite inflated and the preparation is excellent retaining the pustules that are often air abraded away. It is nicely centered on a 5.5x4.4" section of grey limestone. This is one of the nicer specimens of the species that I have seen.
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.
