 Description: A rare specimen of this species in a defensive position. It is unlikely that the conditions of this specimen will be repeated: excellent preservation, meticulous cleaning with great attention to detail by expert hands, and the trilobite in a defensive position. A hypostome, presumably belonging to this specimen, can be observed on the back. The fossil was cleaned with a hammer drill and sandblasting, and is 100% natural, with no restoration, spines from another trilobite, or paint.
