450 Million Year Old Trilobite With 1 Inch Long Eyestalks. Looking like some strange kind of alien life form, this amazing 3¼ inch trilobite had its eyes attached to 1 inch long stalks that protruded above the seafloor where it buried itself to hunt small prey and to protect itself from predators. This stunning brown trilobite, Neoasaphus kowalewski, looks alive, as if it were still crawling over the creamy smooth textured sandstone matrix. If you could own only one trilobite, this weird trilobite, found near St. Petersburg, Russia, would certainly make an excellent choice. Weight is approximately 2 pounds.
Estimated Value $375 - 500.
