Huge, 4.2" Asaphus Cornutus Trilobite - Russia
This is a huge, 4.2" long, inflated Asaphus cornutus quarried in the St. Petersburg region or Russia. It looks like it's ready to crawl right off the rock.
Like nearly all of the trilobites from these quarries there is some shell restoration as the shell tends to fracture when the rock is broken. It is mainly along the repaired crack running diagonally through the trilobite and on the tail.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

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.
