3.2" Superbly Prepared Walliserops Trilobite

This is an exceptionally well prepared specimen of Walliserops trifurcatus quarried near Foum Zguid, Morocco. The work was done by one of the best preparators in the world and the shell quality is impeccable. The trilobite is about 3.2" long which is about average size for the species and it is arched backwards. The limestone has been removed from underneath all of the spines. A very impressive display. No restoration.
