Here is a striking Lower Cambrian trilobite. This is a beautiful specimen of Olenellus gilberti from Nevada. This trilobite is wonderfully articulated and exhibits extremely fine detail. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and the long, sweeping pleural spines are clearly defined and beautifully displayed. The bug is well showcased on the large plate of shale. And, yes, the trilobite is as red in person as it is in the photo! This is a very colorful Olenellid trilobite from the Lower Cambrian of the Western United States.
