Bristolia is an extinct genus of redlichiida trilobites. Bristolia bristolensis is a quite rare trilobite coming from famous lower cambrian Shale of Marble Mountain. This is a good trilobite on sale. It is difficult to see with so nice skin color! I found about 5 years ago in Marble and it is the only good bristolensis that i ever found.
It was cracked in some pieces so there are minor restoration that you can see in the photo.
For sure is a great addiction to your collection.
