Fossil description
Spectacular matrix featuring two high-quality trilobites, carefully cleaned using sandblasting, a technique that allows for precise exposure of the finest details without damaging the original structure.
In the room, we find:
A Hollardops mesocristatus of excellent preservation, with great detail in the compound eyes and well-defined ornamentation.
