Sooo...today the postman rings our doorbell with a package from Estonia that was supposed to contain an intact (although ever-so-slightly disarticulated--hey, it was cheap compared to a perfect specimen) Asaphus kowalewski...well, that's not what arrived... As far as I can tell, the box was packed well before it left, but somewhere in transit, someone decided to cut one of the plastic tie downs holding it in the inner box and inspect the specimen (maybe they thought I was trying to smuggle drugs in a trilobite?!?) and put it back in the box unsecured. As a result, it rattled around in the box, and by the time I received it, the eyes were a bunch of small bits hiding in the bottom of the box. I have contacted the seller and hope to have a resolution soon. In the meantime, my heart is heavy as I hold the remains of what was once a lovely trilobite. Perhaps if I can get my money back without having to ship it back, I can try to glue the eye stalks back together and restore the specimen to a presentable state...or something... sigh, ---Prem
