A fine specimen of this striking spiny species. The iconic trident is fully prepared and free-standing, highlighting the trilobite’s characteristic morphology. Fine exoskeletal detail and natural preservation make this a standout addition for collectors of unique Devonian trilobites. Restorations are present on the forks. A small area on the glabella looks restored on the photographs. Careful inspection with a magnifier revealed that it is unrestored. It shines naturally brighter than its periphery.
