This is a fabulous fossil trilobite. It is a complete Prochasmops praecurrens from the Wolchow River area of Russia. This type is known for its large compound eyes and long, sweeping genal spines. This specimen showcases these features wonderfully. The trilobite itself is large for this type - it is over two inches long and very inflated. The thick shell exoskeleton has great color and detail. The trilobite contrasts beautifully with the finely sculpted matrix. This is a top quality example of this uncommon Russian trilobite that simply displays beautifully.
