Here is a very nice Lower Cambrian trilobite. This is Olenellus gilberti from Nevada. This trilobite is well articulated and exhibits fine detail. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and the long pleural spines are clearly defined. A lengthy portion of the ''tail spine'' is even evident. The trilobite has wonderful color and contrast and is beautifully centered on the rectangular plate of shale. This is a fine example of an Olenellus from the Lower Cambrian.
