Beautiful 80mm trilobite on 160mm slab
Pseudosaukianda is an early Cambrian trilobite, notable for its elegant, streamlined body and well-defined head shield. It lived over 520 million years ago, during the rapid burst of life known as the Cambrian Explosion. With its spiny features and segmented exoskeleton, Pseudosaukianda was part of the first wave of complex arthropods exploring Earth’s oceans. Rare and scientifically valuable, it represents an exciting chapter in the early evolution of trilobites—a sleek survivor from the dawn of animal diversity.
