Ptychopyge limbata Russian TrilobiteDescription: A well-inflated example of a scarce Asaphid, this is Ptychopyge limbata. The golden Calcite exoskeleton is complemented by the white limestone matrix, with the trilobite shown in a prone position. This is one of the older members of the genus, and the first I have seen in five years.
