Large and Impressive Nevadia Lower Cambrian Trilobite

Description: This is a beautiful and most aesthetically preserved specimen. The specimen is a fully adult size for the species. Nevadia trilobites of this size and preservation are rarely found. It is about 90% intact; with absolutely no enhancement, repairs or reconstruction. Specifically, the left genal is missing and the right genal is partially exposed. There is some compression to the left side of the thorax. The right side is fully displayed, though some of the spines are missing or partial. The opistothorax is present. Most of the lower long flowing spines are missing. The matrix is a drab olive color, typical of that found at the collecting site. It is 3D, inflated and has excellent presence. Note the large thick plate on which it is residing. In my humble estimation, the massiveness of the plate adds to the specimen’s overall presentation. Clearly, it would make a wonderful centerpiece for any western states, or, Cambrian trilobite collection.
