This is a very nice Trinucleid trilobite. It is a large 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 distinct pitted fringe that encircles the entire front of the trilobite - this specimen has this feature nicely intact. The rest of the trilobite also has excellent detail. The bug's orange coloration is fully natural and quite striking. And there is even part of another Crypto next to the main specimen. This is a beautifully-preserved example of this ''Little Groveler'' of trilobites.
