Description
A stunning and large example of this spiny species. Bolaspidella is a small species, with most individuals measuring well under one centimeter. This specimen measures 1.2cm and is nearly perfect, sporting axial spines and a pustulose exoskeleton. Situated on an incredible bi-color matrix, the red and orange trilobite is centered on a color zone dividing line. The rose and green matrix are naturally colored, representing natural minerals heated under extreme compression conditions sometime in the past 505 million years. The line likely represents an ancient natural rock joint that was fused. The piece is spectacular and is a definitive example of this species.
