This is a killer Lower Cambrian trilobite. It is a complete Olenellus gilberti from Nevada. This trilobite is awesome - very well articulated and finely detailed. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen and the sweeping genal spines are beautifully displayed. The long pleural spines are intact and clearly defined - even the long telson (tailspine) is intact. The bug has outstanding color - the dark brown exoskeleton of the trilobite contrasts wonderfully with the light-colored matrix. The fossil is well centered on the 4.5" X 4.8" plate of shale. This is simply an extraordinary Olenellus trilobite from the Pioche Formation - a true collection piece.
