This is a fantastic Trinucleid trilobite. It is a Bettonolithus chamberlaini from the Ordovician of Wales. This wonderfully articulated specimen is quite 3-dimensional and exhibits great detail. The large, inflated glabella is easily seen and the pitted cephalic rim is beautifully preserved. The individual thoracic segments are clearly defined and the broad, triangular pygidium is intact. The trilobite has great color and contrast and is almost perfectly centered on the plate of shale. This is a top-quality specimen of Bettonolithus that will never have to be upgraded.
