This is a HUGE Ceraurus trilobite. It is a beautiful Gabriceraurus dentatus from Ontario, Canada. We acquired this incredible specimen from a major trilobite collector, and prepared in in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. First, the bug is HUGE - almost 4 inches long! It is wonderfully articulated and almost perfectly prone. The thick shell exoskeleton is amazingly well-preserved, and the detail is stunning. The ends of the tailspines are reconstructed, but that only completes the symmetry of the bug. The trilobite is almost perfectly centered on the large, rectangular matrix block. This is one of the most impressive Canadian trilobites we have had. It is a super display piece - an eye-popping example of this collectible type of Ceraurus.
