2.1" Asaphus Punctatus Trilobite - Russia

This is a nice, 2.1" long example of the stalked eyed trilobite Asaphus punctatus. The preservation and preparation is very nice on this cute little guy.

Like nearly all of the trilobites from this region there is some shell restoration to replace shell that flakes off when the rock is broken during collection. There is about 4-5% restoration, along the pleural tips on the right hand side of the trilobite.
