Here is an excellent example of an unusual trilobite. This is a fabulous Subasaphus platyurus from the Ordovician of Russia. It is easy to see the differences between this type and the more common Russian Asaphids - this type has long genal spines, for example. This large trilobite is extremely 3-dimensional and wonderfully articulated. The bug is quite prone and exhibits very fine detail. The sweeping genal spines are beautifully displayed, and the large eyes are easily seen. The thick-shelled exoskeleton has great natural color - it is a dark caramel with natural reddish highlights. The trilobite is well positioned on the buff-colored block of sculpted limestone that also contains a large cystoid. This is a very displayable specimen of a highly collectible trilobite.

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