Description from the seller
Outstanding specimen of Redlichia chinensis, perfectly centered in its natural matrix (7.6 cm the specimen). The preservation is superb, showing all major anatomical features in remarkable detail:
negative
Complete genal spines
sharp marginal spines
well-defined glabellum
Clearly visible marginal furrow
Absolutely free of restoration or repairs, which is highly unusual and greatly valued in Cambrian trilobites.
Specimens of this size and quality are extremely rare on the market. Cambrian trilobites are often incomplete or heavily restored, making this example a truly exceptional piece.
From the classic locality of Yung Shan, Hunan Province, China, this trilobite is a collector-grade fossil, perfect for advanced collections or museum display.
Species: Redlichia chinensis
Age: Lower Cambrian (~520 million years)
Locality: Yung Shan, Hunan, China
Matrix size: 10.5 cm
Condition: excellent, complete, with no restoration.
Stunning display included
A rare and striking fossil, exceptionally well preserved and 100% authentic.
Seller's Story
Don & Donna Fossils finally moved to Spain.
We are a Don & Donna Fossils, a couple united by the love of exploration, field research, professional preparation and museum display of fossils from all over the world.
This formula, combined with a desire to improve, makes us a winning team dedicated to our Fossil World.
Larisa is been passionate about fossils since was a child. Her strengths are perfectionism, perseverance and creativity, hence her ability to work and prepare these fossils as authentic, unique and aesthetic as possible. The pieces with which she is famous and which she boast the most are spiny ammonites.
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
