Sculpted Stone

This is HUGE example of a classic spiny trilobite. It is a complete Psychopyge elegans from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. This awesome trilobite was meticulously prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. This type of trilobite has a LONG, pointed snout, long genal spines, long tailspines, and over 30 vertical spines down the back. This specimen displays all of these features beautifully - the snout, genal spines, and tailspines are all intact and very well preserved. The occipital ''horn'' and the entire array of 30+ back spines have been prepared free-standing - quite impressive! The gigantic bug (SIX INCHES LONG!) is beautifully displayed on the large, massive chunk of sculpted limestone. This is a Top Quality Psychopyge that just happens to be EXTREMELY LARGE.

A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
