3D, 1.5" Asaphus Punctatus Trilobite - Russia

This is a nice example of the stalked eyed trilobite Asaphus punctatus. At 1.5" long, and would be a bit longer if the head wasn't tucked downwards. The preservation and preparation is very nice on this cute little guy.

Like nearly all of the trilobites from this region there is some shell restoration to replace shell that flakes off when the rock is broken during collection. It is less on this specimen than your average Asaphus, about 4%. There is a patch is a patch on the left side of the thorax, just above the tail, and a little bit of restoration to the back of the left eye.
