The Budenbach trilobites are quite famous. The shale is mined for
lithographic plates, and periodically, an amazing fossil is found within
the flat shale.
This specimen was obtained from an old collection. This specimen is
unprepared. The thorax is slightly visible, the cephalon and pygidium
are slightly visible on back side of the matrix. Preparation of the
Hunsruch Shale is unique and challenging, in that the matrix is very
hard and the trilobites are softer than the matrix.
This is an
opportunity to pick up some unprepped fossils from a distant locality!
Unprepared material is typically unpredictable, thus I cannot guarantee
how these specimens will turn out.
Shipping will cost $8 anywhere in the USA.
International shipping will cost $16
