Description from the seller

Stunning mortality plate with a beautiful composition of real Asaphus / trilobites with a brilliant appearance that fits in any home and brings the antiquity of our existence into your living space. Asaphus[1] is a genus of extinct trilobites from the Ordovician (roughly 500 to 450 million years ago), that lived in the seas of the then-continent Baltica. Fossils of these trilobites are mainly found in eastern Europe. The genus Asaphus belongs to the order Asaphida. Trilobites of this genus are typically between three and eight centimeters long, with a smooth cephalon clearly separated from the glabella. The segments of the pygidium are fused together in this genus. The species within the genus Asaphus were benthic predators or detritivores.
