RARE GROUPING OF CHINESE TRILOBITES. This very large 22 x 9.5 inch black slate slab contains the mass mortality remains of nine trilobites belonging to three different species rarely encountered and missing from most collections. All nine of these white trilobites are 480 million years old from Hunan Province, China and have a white calcite covering which shows up really well on the black slate. There are three different species of trilobites present on this slab with the superb 7 inch long specimen being Xiangxiaa, the "hammerhead" shaped heads being Szechuanella and the ones with spines being Asaphinas. All of the trilobites on this rare plate are 3D except for one which was preserved upside down and is recessed into the matrix.
