Here is a beautiful U. S. trilobite. This is Eldredgeops milleri from the famous Silica Formation of Ohio. This large trilobite is almost perfectly prone and wonderfully articulated. The bug is extremely 3-dimensional and exhibits fantastic detail. The large, compound eyes are excellent - the individual lenses are very easily seen. The pustulose glabella is nicely displayed, and the texture of the thick-shelled exoskeleton is superb. This bug has great, natural dark brown color and contrasts nicely with the light grey limestone matrix. Yes, this bug was found in a dense limestone lense, a very rare occurrence - most of the trilobites are found in the shales. This is a gorgeous, 3-dimensional example of Eldredgeops from Ohio.
