Nankinolithus Trilobite

[FossilFrenzy]

Hey fossil friends!

I decided not to get the cambopallas trilobite and instead found this nankinolithus and adore its body plan! 

What do you think?

Interesting fossil!

 

It appears to be a Nankinolithus Trilobite of the Ordovician, from Yichang, Hubei, China or from Mecissi, Morocco. Any idea of the origin? It is quite rare to see a complete Trilobite Nankinolithus, which makes me rather mistrustful.

 

Maybe with a little restoration:

 

 

But to be sure, just examining the fossil in his hands with a magnifying glass.

 

And more, in my opinion, if the price is good, then it will be a good buy.

Nankinolithus has a narrower brim.  This one is: Declivolithus titan

I know appraisals are not allowed, but it's a fairly expensive fossil. Would any of you display it in your personal collection? 

I love the color and shape.

I would, but my D. titan was an inexpensive fragment, not a whole specimen.

Inexpensive fragment?

 

So know that I really like your inexpensive fragment!
