| Description: |
Large and high relief fossil trilobite in a stone matrix, an early extinct marine arthropod recognized by its distinctive three-segmented, ribbed form. Trilobites, like other arthropods, had an external skeleton, or exoskeleton composed of chitinous material. For the animal to grow, the exoskeleton had to be shed, and shed trilobite exoskeletons, or portions of them, are fossils that are relatively common. A few very minor spots of restoration, otherwise intact, overall exc. cond. A nice example. |
