Total restoration appears to be 3% with most along the sides of the trilobites. Good eye facet preservation in all two eyes.Age: middle Devonian.Formation: Bou Dib FormationTrilobites were a very diverse group of extinct marine arthropods. They first appeared in the fossil record in the Early Cambrian (521 million years ago) and went extinct during the Permian mass extinction (250 million years ago). They were one of the most successful of the early animals on our planet with over 25k currently described species, filling nearly every evolutionary niche. Due in large part to a hard exoskeleton (shell), they left an excellent fossil record. We guarantee the \authenticity of the fossil and mineral specimens that we sell. We not only deal with trusted sources but have the knowledge to be able to verify all of the specimens ourselves.If you ever find that our representation with regards to authenticity or restoration is inaccurate the specimen can be be returned for a full refund at any time. RepairThe reality of collecting fossils is that the vast majority come out of the ground in multiple pieces and need to be repaired. With many types of fossils, specimens that don’t require any repair are the very rare exception. For example most 3D trilobites are found in cross-section and need to be glued back together. Almost all dinosaur material needs to be stabilized and glued back together.When done correctly repair is nearly impossible to identify either under microscope and only enhances the value of a specimen. It’s the sign of a great fossil preparator to be able to piece together a spectacular specimen that may have come out of the ground as a jigsaw puzzle.International Buyers of more than one specimen will get one low combine shipping charge for the order.
