This is probably THE classic US trilobite. It is a distinct Elrathia kingi from Utah. This is probably the most prolific, and most famous, trilobite in the world. This specimen is a beautiful single trilobite showcased on a large plate of shale. The beautiful bug is complete with both free cheeks intact and tight. The red trilobite is well presenteded on the block, and contrasts very well with the lighter pink matrix. This is a very displayable example of an individual Elrathia from the famous ''Red Beds''.
