Excellent Bohemian Trilobite Agraulos ceticephalus

Description: A very nice and hard to find species of Bohemian trilobite. The species derives its name from the fact that the describer thought the cephalon reminded him of a whale’s head. It is very 3-D in preservation with excellent color and shows quite well. It was cracked and repaired and the very tip of the cephalon is missing, but still is a fine example of this difficult to obtain taxon. These magnificent trilobites are getting less available as the government restricts collecting and older sites become exhausted, or off-limits. This classic trilobite locality was first described by the famed European paleontologist Barrande over 150 years ago. The Jince Formation represents one of the most interesting Cambrian faunas of Europe.
