Very Nice Quadrops Trilobite - 2.75"

This is a spectacular specimen of one of my favorite species of trilobites, the very alien looking Quadrops flexuosa. This bizarre trilobite has a distinctive four-forked protrusion coming off of the front of it's head which is where the genus gets it's name. It is not only a rare trilobite but extremely hard and time consuming to prepare owing to the hardness of the rock and the it's many free standing spines.

This specimen is 2.75" long with it's head arched upwards. It's been very well prepared with clear eye facets and free standing spines. Great shell detail and no major restoration.
