Want to sell a very nice Asaphus Punctatus trilobite fossil, about 2" 1/3 long. :)
No restauration, very good detail and preparation. I got it from a fellow forumite who is in the fossil business and made me a really good price. I'm selling for the same price to raise a few $, even though it's worth more. Asking $150 shipped. I prefer PayPal and can't take MO's.
 
How about $140? This critter is about 470 millions years old, that makes about 3,357,142 years per $ :D

Thanks, but I am saving up for a new one.
 
Hmmm, I think I might just know the fellow forumite. :) I'm sorry you have to sell this, it's a very cool pice of history and evolution. People pay $5,000 for a piece of dinosaur bone, and it just looks like a fragment of a rock, and is "only" 200 million years old, :) here, you have a complete, very detailed entire creature, complete with stalked eyes, 500 million years old, and for $150, you can't beat it with a stick!

Flava is correct, $150 is a steal for a lab prepped Asaphus of this quality, about half what one of this size and quality would be on a website, there are several levels of quality and detail, and I can attest that Flava's is the highest possible level, and was laboratory prepared by the finest prep guy in the world.

I'm almost tempted to buy it back. :)
