Here is a very aesthetic spiny trilobite from the Cambrian of China. This specimen is quite large for the type and wonderfully articulated. Both free cheeks are present and tightly attached. This Oryctocephalus-type trilobite has the long pleural spines beautifully displayed. The fossil has good color and contrast. It is almost perfectly centered on the natural plate of shale. This is an excellent example of this Cambrian trilobite.
