This is a very nice Trinucleid trilobite. It is a complete Cryptolithus bellulus from the classic site at Swatara Gap, Pennsylvania. This specimen was collected by Steve Hess in 1984. This type of trilobite is known for the unusual pitted fringe that encircles the entire front of the trilobite - this specimen has this feature perfectly intact. The rest of the trilobite also has excellent detail, and both long genal spines are present, which is extremely unusual. The bug's natural orange coloration is distinct and quite striking. And there is even a nice impression of another Crypto next to the main specimen. This is a fabulous example of this beautifully-preserved trilobite from Pennsylvania.
