Here is a relatively difficult-to-obtain trilobite from South America. This is Eldredgia venustus from the Devonian of Bolivia. At one time, Bolivian trilobites were obtainable; however, most of the local diggers got involved in the cocaine business, which was much more profitable. These trilobites are found in concretions and usually in a contraflexed position. This trilobite is nicely articulated, 3-dimensionally preserved, and exhibits fine detail. The individual lenses of the compound eyes are very easily seen. And both halves of the concretion are present, which is unusual. This is a very nice, complete example of this unusual Phacopid trilobite from South America.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
