ARISTOHARPES TRILOBITE LAB PREPPED - Atlas Mountain Range, Morocco DEVONIAN PERIOD: 395 - 345 million years ago As a great model for a futuristic spaceship design, the Aristoharpes is one of the most artfully streamlined trilobites that ever existed in the Devonian. Its graceful genal spines sweep back to seemingly protect as they envelope its thorax and its central cephalon (head) sits way up above the wide flange of its free cheeks and surrounding border. This is a very rare trilobite to find in a fine quality with no restoration or serious deterioration. This stunning example was prepared by us in our own lab with modern micro-abrasive equipment. It has wonderful inflation and a slight turning pose. The eyes are intact with no repair. The surface of the specimen is very well-preserved and naturally colored a dark olive green. This is amongst the finest quality specimens of these rare trilobites you will find. Typically the thorax is restored and lack of segment detail is the sign of restoration. This example has fine detail across the entire body. Very highly recommended if you want the best for your collection. In this day and age of unbelievable quantities of fake and heavily restored trilobites, this rare and seldom available specimen is backed by our unconditional guarantee of authenticity and genuineness of the creature. A STUNNING U.S. LAB-PREPPED EXAMPLE WITH ZERO RESTORATION! 4" long and 3" wide with original matrix, animal 1.5" in length SOLD TR3102 INCLUDES STAND Actual Item - One Only |
