This is a very large Asian trilobite. It is a complete Asaphopsoides sp. from the Hunan Province of China. This specimen was recently acquired from the Richard Busch Collection. Busch was the Preparator/Asst. Curator at the North Museum in Lancaster, PA from 1965-1992. This trilobite measures almost 10 inches long - a large bug, to say the least. The trilobite has good natural color and detail and contrasts strikingly on the plate of black limestone. The fossil is nicely showcased on the semi-squared, unbroken block of matrix. This is a very large, uncommon trilobite from the Richard Busch Collection.
