This is a very collectible European trilobite. It is a huge specimen of Salterolithus caractaci from the United Kingdom. This Trinucleid trilobite is wonderfully articulated and exhibits outstanding detail. The wide, pitted brim of the cephalon is beautifully displayed, and the bulbous glabella is easily seen. The individual thoracic segments are clearly defined, and even the triangular pygidium is present and very distinct. The bug has great black coloration and excellent contrast. And the trilobite is very large - simply huge for this type. This is a museum quality example of Salterolithus from the United Kingdom.
