This trilobite of the Genus Ceratages is nicely certerd on a wonderful, massive piece of matrix. The trilobite it self shows a good and detailed preservation and dark and rich colour of the shell that provides a great contrast. The right librigena is primary missing so it got sculptured from the original stone. This Cetatages was prepared without using a "sandblaster finish" so that are some more micro details of the carapace are preserved. The matrix offers servile naturally flat surfaces that allow to present this trilobite in multiple way. There are no diamond saw edges, this stone and trilobite is beautiful and natural from all sides. | |||
