Unusual, 2.7" Delphasaphus Trilobite - Russia

This is a rarely seen asaphid trilobite from the St. Petersburg region of Russia, Delphasaphus delphinus. It's slightly curled but would be about 2.7" long if outstretched.

Like basically all of the Russian Asaphid trilobites there is shell restoration as the shell tends to flake when the rock is broken. It's pretty significant in this specimen, I would say 20% of the shell is restored.
