This is a fine Bumastus ioxus from the Rochester Shale of New York. This trilobite is very 3-dimensional, extremely prone, and nicely articulated. The dark trilobite contrasts beautifully with the light grey matrix. The bug is nicely presented on the natural plate of shale. And at almost one inch long, it is somewhat large for a Bumastus from this site. This is a very nice example of this classic Silurian trilobite.
