Description

Trilobite description;  You are bidding on a Pseudogygites,  Ordovician period, from Ontario Canada, in a shale matrix.(see pixs 5 & 6). Right eye lens is complete, left one is sort of ragged (see pix 4) Some small pieces of the exoskeleton is still attached here and there on the specimen. A few dings seen on the right thorax. Right genial spine complete, left one is there but damaged. White material on the specimen unknown??  Calcite? Very fine grained mudstone? Glabella complete.    THE shale matrix at the top of the specimen is quite thin AND I did not want to trim it off, fearing harming the specimen.   COMES with a 4 1/2  X 5 1/2 inch glass riker box.
Very close inspection, I could not see or find and glue, epoxy, or fillers anywhere on the specimen.
Matrix is shale. DIME is for scale only.
Pictures taken outside in full sunlight.
Dimensions are approx. AND are only the trilobite and NOT the attached matrix.  Length  1.66 inches   Width. 2.80 inches  Height above the matrix  1.05 inches   Weight  7 1/2 ounces INCLUDING the display case
Ships to the USA only.  NO exceptions.   I have a nice 3 X 6 X 7 sturdy box I will ship this specimen in with lots, and lots of bubble wrap. Cost will be 6 dollars.
