Radnoria brettiDescription: Here is a treat for the specialist collector, a Brachymetopid trilobite from the Silurian of New York state. Recently described, only a handful of these have been discovered complete. This one is in excellent condition. It is fully inflated, 3D, with good color and sharp preservation. They were a diminutive trilobite genus and this one is a fully mature adult. There is a crack in the left side of the thorax where the matrix split during collection. The specimen was coated with paleontological sealant.
