Thanks for visiting!
Offered from the Pliocene of Mautunau Beach, North Canterbury, New Zealand, is a good sized (at least 12cm) and unprepared pos/neg example of the Spider Crab Trichopaltarian greggi in a split nodule.
With at least four walking appendages and chelicerae evident on the right side, and with the complete dorsal carapace finely preserved with much original shell material intact and with fine surface prosopon, this is a very displayable specimen, which will prepare further with modern air tools......additional walking limbs are evident.
Matrix pieces approx. 15cm X 13cm X 3.5cm (weight 1.9kg)
Excellent price for such a large, well preserved and crisp specimen...............one for the specialist.
Although I sell a very wide range of fossils from Pre- Cambrian to Pleistocene age, I specialize in trilobites from all over the globe and in particular, British species.
I collect regularly in the UK, with more than forty five years of fieldwork experience and probably the best working knowledge of British trilobite localities. I have a doctorate and a masters degree in trilobite taxonomy and British Palaeozoic stratigraphy and an Open University degree in Natural Sciences.
If you are an amateur collector, a more serious scientific collector, or an agent for an educational organization ( e.g College, University or Museum), I can supply materials to suit your needs! I also buy whole collections and trade materials too. Visits are welcome,by appointment only.
