Flying Spines 2.75 Inch Zlichovaspis Trilobite Fossil From Morocco Large

  

This is a wonderful specimen of Zlichovaspis from Morocco. This trilobite has been expertly prepared to have flying/floating spines. I have examined the specimen for restorations and I have circled areas which I believe to have been restored. The front of the head seems to be restored as well. A preserving gloss has been applied to bring out its dark colors.

There is a repaired crack through the trilobite as with most trilobites since these fossils are found by splitting rocks in half. The very tips of the spines seem to be missing, but the spines are otherwise intact. I did have to repair one of the spines myself though, so there is a repaired crack.

I try to be as transparent/honest as possible! Length: approximately 2.75 inches (7 cm).

Width: approximately 1.77 inches (4.5 cm).
