Visually stunning and laced with racks of spines. An evolutionary marvel from our deep past over 350 million years ago. Trilobites were masters of evolutionary specialization and this Quadrops is one of the most bizarre examples. Carefully exhumed from hard limestone, this trilobite fossil is evolutionary marvel and quite the natural sculpture!
Playing around with a new rotating table today. Here’s a video clip of a spectacular Quadrops trilobite specimen encrusted in pyrite crystals. It almost looks like it has gold nuggets on it’s spines.

Probably one of my favorite species of trilobites due to it's alien appearance. The preparation on this specimen is outstanding, with no fake spines, clear eye facets, and great shell detail. A new premium listing on FossilEra.com
