Bizarre Trilobite with Long Eye Stalks. Neoasaphus kowalewski was a very strange looking trilobite with extremely long one inch eyestalks and must have looked like something from another planet as it crossed the warm ocean floor 450 million years ago in the Wolchow river near St. Petersburg, Russia. This strange trilobite would bury itself in the sand with just its eyestalks exposed to hunt small prey animals and protect itself from predators. This lovely complete brown trilobite is 2.75 inches long on a 5.5 x 4.5 inch limestone matrix. The best preserved and most beautiful trilobites come from Russia and are stunning with the medium brown color contrasting the light tan matrix.
