Exceptional Complete 1 1/4" on sale Asaphiscus Wheeleri Trilobite with Sponge Imprint and Positive and Negative Plates!
This exceptional trilobite has both the positive and negative plates as well as a rare sponge imprint.
Trilobites were a hard shelled arthropod (invertebrate) that roamed the sea floor during the Cambrian period roughly 550 million years ago. This trilobite came from the Wheeler Shale Formation in Utah.
This is on sale a great specimen for your fossil collection!
Asaphiscus Wheeleri tend to be a little fragile in the Wheeler Shale so finding a solid one that doesn't flake is pretty rare.
I dug this plate and held off on a lot of prep for fear of damaging this great specimen.
The trilobite is 1 1/4" in length.
The rock display is approximately (positive side) 1 1/2" thick x 5 1/2 " x 9 1/2" at its largest measurements.
Shipping will be combined whenever possible. International shipping on this item will be a bit more expensive because of the weight.
