Large, 3.15" Asaphus Plautini Trilobite - Russia

This is a good-sized, 3.15" long, prone specimen in Asaphus plautini, one of the scarcer of the many species of Asaphid trilobites found near St. Petersburg, Russia. It was found at the Vilpovitsy quarry and is Lower Ordovician in age, or approximately 460 million years old.

Like nearly all of the asaphid trilobites from the quarry there is some shell restoration, but it's pretty minor in this specimen.
