4.35" Arctinurus Trilobite w/ Bite Marks - Classic New York Trilobite
This is a classic North American trilobite and a species that is highly desirable among collectors. It is a beautiful 4.35" long Arctinurus boltoni from the Rochester Shale of New York. This beautiful lichid trilobite is well preserved with several bite marks along the left side of its body.
Shell restoration is fairly minimal on this trilobite and can mostly be found through the tail and left side where the rock split during collection. There are small spots of restoration across some of the segments and the anterior border. That being said, restoration makes up less than 5% of this beautiful specimen.
Comes with a display stand.

About Trilobites
Trilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet: over 25,000 species have been described, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to their hard exoskeletons (shells), they left an excellent fossil record.
