Dalmanites Trilobite

Bought this Dalmanites limulurus from George Heslep at the Tucson Show. Middle Silurian, Rochester Shale, Medina, New York.

Been wanting one of these for a while. I think these are one of the coolest of the trilobites.

Eyes have been glued back on. A crack in the slab has been glued back together to keep the matrix square (and thus pretty), but fortunately the crack didn't cut into the trilobite.

Choice acquisition :wub:

For whatever reason, that species always makes me think of Kaiser Wilhelm... :unsure:

maybe it resembles a WWI German helmet somehow?
