Here is an interesting trilobite from the DeRosear Collection. This is a very good example of Olenellus clarki from the Latham Formation of California. Trilobites from this Lower Cambrian location are some of the most sought-after in the US, and complete trilobites from this site are quite rare. This classic trilobite exhibits very fine detail. The semi-circular cephalon is easily seen, and the individual thoracic segments are unusually intact. Even the LONG telson (tail spine) is quite evident. The trilobite is well presented on the somewhat triangular plate of shale. This is a collectible example of Olenellus clarki from the DeRosear Collection.
