AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Stunning mortality plate featuring a beautiful composition of genuine Asaphus / trilobites with a magnificent appearance, suitable for any home that wishes to bring the antiquity of our existence indoors. Asaphus is a genus of extinct trilobites from the Ordovician (around 500 to 450 million years ago), which 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 in this genus. The species within the genus Asaphus were benthic predators or detritivores.
