Here is a great Oklahoma trilobite. This is a fine Huntonia lingulifer from the Lower Devonian. This specimen was recently acquired from the famous Sam Stubbs Collection. Oklahoma trilobites are one of Sam's specialties. This species of Huntonia has a long caudal spine which is beautifully displayed on this specimen. This outstretched trilobite is very 3-dimensional and wonderfully articulated. Both free cheeks are present and tightly attached. The extremely symmetrical bug exhibits excellent detail - the cephalic process is easily seen, and the flaring genal spines are clearly defined. Many of the individual lenses of the large compound eyes are quite evident, which is highly unusual - usually, the eyes of Huntonia are preserved in a collapsed position - but not this specimen. The eyes of this trilobite are very inflated. The caramel-colored trilobite contrasts beautifully with the light-colored matrix. The trilobite is well showcased on the sculpted block of limestone. This is a very collectible example of a ''long-tailed'' Huntonia from the Stubbs Collection.
