Restoration details: Residual - Half of the big thoracic spine was reconstructed.
Presented is a beautiful Leonaspis sp. trilobite from the Moroccan Devonian strata with residual restoration. The freestanding "flying" display of all the thin spines is a laborious and very skilled work of dozens (sometimes hundreds) of laboratory hours, under the microscope, just accessible to very few people in all the world.
Dimensions: Specimen: 2,8 x 2,9 cm; Matrix: 8,5 x 7,4 cm.
