This is a fabulous Lower Cambrian trilobite. It is a striking Olenellus sp. from the Eager Formation of Canada. This specimen is very unusual - it is larger and displays much better than most Olenellus from this site. The trilobite is complete including the long telson (tailspine), which is quite rare. The detail of this trilobite is simply awesome - even the tiny pleural spines are wonderfully showcased. The bug is nicely inflated and well positioned on the unbroken plate of shale. But it is the natural color and incredible contrast that makes this bug stand out. This is easily one of the most displayable Olenellus trilobites we have ever seen, period. And the fact that it is from the Eager formation makes it that much more collectible.
