This is a very fine Lower Cambrian trilobite. It is a complete juvenile Olenellus gilberti from Nevada. This TINY trilobite is excellent - very well articulated and finely detailed. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and the long genal and metagenal spines are beautifully displayed. The long third pleural spines are also fully intact, and are almost as long as the rest of the trilobite! The bug has nice natural color, which contrasts wonderfully with the light-colored matrix. And it is only 1/4 of an inch long! This is an fabulous juvenile specimen of an Olenellus gilberti.
