dongmin Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I would like to know about the species Scotoharpes spasskii, but there is very little information, so I have a question. Is this species completely different from the Harpes species found in Morocco that lived during the Devonian period? And is Scotoharpes spasskii a rare species of trilobite that is hard to find? Which is rarer among Russian trilobites: Paraceraurus or Scotoharpes spasskii? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 The photos don't have enough resolution to pinpoint any obvious restoration. In any event, they certainly don't appear to be 'heavily' restored. Both specimens compare favorably with the typically well-prepped Russian trilobites. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Here is a hi-res image of the second specimen. This trilobite is nearly flawless with approximately 1% total restoration. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
