    Description

    Offered here is a beautifully prepared, ultra rare Ceraurus sp. (maybe a new species maybe Ceraurus milleranus) trilobite from the Fairview Formation of Bracken County, Kentucky, Ordovician in age. The trilobite measures 1 1/8” long as it sits and would be about 1 5/8” if prone. It is extremely 3-D. The matrix measures 3 5/8” x 2 7/8”. This beautiful piece was found about 25 years ago and prepared by one of the best preparators of rare Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky trilobites. This has been in a personal collection since found and I was lucky enough to buy it when it became available. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the best Ceraurus from this area ever found. What makes it all the rarer is the pathology on the pygidial spines. Was one bitten and regenerated? Who knows. You won’t find one on the web for sale. You won’t find one anywhere for sale. If you have purchased multiple items, please do not send payment until I send an invoice. If you pay before I send you an invoice, shipping could cost you more and I will ship in separate shipments/packages. Shipping cost is the responsibility of the buyer.
    If you plan on buying multiple “buy it now items” please add all of them to your cart and make one purchase and request an invoice. Thank you.
