Up for sale is a beautiful rare complete example of the Cambrian lichid trilobite Damesella Paronai. This particular bug has near perfect articulation. The shell of this specimen exhibits stunning pustules covering the body of this trilobite. The tips of the plural spines have a wonderful red coloration that stands out against the buff matrix. Normally these trilobites are found by Chinese farmers and destroyed by crude preparation techniques (a wire brush). This specimen has been prep...ared under scope with air abrasives. The specimen is preserved on a thick slab of shale. I prepared the specimen from start to finish. There is NO RESTORATION OR RECONSTRUCTION, absolutely zero touchup or repair. I have complete prep photos from start to finish that will be provided if desired. Trilobite measures 2 inches! and matrix measures 5 inches x 5 inches. I had previously sold this item but got it back in a large trade deal. I will ship as soon as payment is received. Check out my other listings, I am willing to combine shipping. Shipping is 2-3 day priority mail. Don't miss out. Review feedback and bid with confidence.
