Revolutionary 30514 - Top Beautiful 2.09 Inch Walliserops Trifurcatus Middle Devonian Trilobite Grab It Now [NlnPeqck]

Beautiful specimen. This type of preparation requires meticulous work of tens of hours. Of course, many of the spines during the preparation process have been fractured and glued again, with slight restorations in the fracture zones. A preparation like this without small restorations is impossible.

This species of trilobite is very rare, with an almost extraterrestrial aspect. The trident shaped appendage has been considered in functional morphology as a sensitive functionality to find food between the seabed substrate.
