'Flying' Crotalocephalina/Crotalocephalus with a Hypostome #2

This Crotalocephalus gibbus  (also known as Cotalocelaphina) has been separated from the matrix so as to appear it is 'flying' or 'floating".  The trilobite is well-preserved with an intact hypostome and small holochroal eyes.

The trilobite is approx. 4 inches long  (if flattened) and 1.45 inches wide. Matrix and trilobite measure 3.1 inches long, 3.88 inches wide and  3.2inches high. 

There is a repair through some of the pygidial spines.

The trilobite is securely screwed into a plastic base of a container that fits over the entire fossil. The screw is easily removed, but it is the best and safest way to transport the fossil.
