Bristolia bristolensis Trilobite OUT OF STOCK

The highly sought after Bristolia bristolensis from the Lower Cambrian of Nevada.  Bristolia are beloved by collectors for their long, sweeping spines and graceful appearance.  Rarely found complete, these trilobites are often frustrating to acquire.  This specimen is an outstanding example, measuring 4.5cm including the telson.  An unusual amount of shelly exoskeleton is intact as well.  Recently acquired from a long-standing collection.
