3.2" Cambrian Trilobite (Hamatolenus) - Pos/Neg Split
This is a positive/negative split of a bright orange, Middle Cambrian trilobite (Hamatolenus sp). The bright orange coloration is natural and due to the oxidization of iron pyrite. The back of the thorax and tail is still buried under rock. The exposed portion measures 2.6" long but the trilobite would likely be about 3.2". The positive side of the rock could be prepared to further expose the trilobite.
It comes with an acrylic display stand.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
