Rare, 1.6" Leningradites Graciosus Trilobite - Russia
This is a fairly rare trilobite species from the Lower Ordovician deposits near St. Petersburg, Russia. It's a 1.6" long Leningradites graciosus that was collected from the Vilpovitsy quarry. It's nicely preserved with prominent eyes and the genal spines have been prepared free of the surrounding limestone.
There is some restoration to the very tips of the genal spines, and some shell restoration on the last two segments of the body. Probably about 5% in total.

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.
