Norwoodia bellaspina TrilobiteDescription: This trilobite is a highly-prized specimen whose genus name fittingly means beautiful spine. It also has many similarities to another rare trilobite, “Gerospina schachti “, but that may be more a result of convergence than anything else. Whatever its affinities, it is a most rare trilobite, seen here in near pristine condition with minimal restoration to the distal portion of the axial spine.
