Elegant, 1.25" Stalk-Eyed Cybele Trilobite - Russia
This is a very elegant, stalk-eyed Cybele bellatula trilobite from the Voibokalo Quarry in the St. Petersburg region of Russia. It's 1.25" in length and magnificently prepared with the stalk eyes intact and flowing spines. There is only a small amount of restoration on the longer spines tips that were running off of the rock. A beautiful 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.
