Super Elrathia Kingii Trilobite

 This is a superbly detailed Elrathia trilobite. It's one of the oldest and most famous of all trilobites and every fossil collection should possess one.

From the Cambrian era - this trilobite is over 500 million years old

While not a rare fossil - it is a beautiful and highly prized object - and probably the most famous and well known of all trilobites.
It is prized for its finely detailed pleural spines and it's overall proportions.
Most collectors wil be familiar with the trilobite especies so I needn't go into any depth, but suffice to say , if you collect fossils and you don't own an Elrathia Kingii then you really should do.

This specimen measures - 2 x 1.5
and comes professionally boxed and labelled.
