This is a SPECTACULAR Ceraurus trilobite. It is a beautiful Ceraurus dentatus from Ontario, Canada. We acquired this incredible specimen from a major trilobite collector, unprepared, and prepared it in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab here in Colorado. First, the bug is huge for this type - two an a half inches long. The trilobite is wonderfully articulated and almost perfectly prone. The thick shell exoskeleton is amazingly well-preserved, and the detail is stunning. And the large, knob-like eyes are fully natural and unrestored, the sweeping genal spines are fully natural and unrestored, the long tailspines are fully natural and unrestored, well, you get the picture. This is one of the most impressive and ''textbook'' Canadian trilobites we have had. It is a super display piece - an eye-popping example of this collectible type of Ceraurus.
