This is an excellent example of a very unusual trilobite. It is a fine Modocia brevispina from the House Range of Utah. This specimen was found by Steve Hess in 1996 and just recently prepared. This bug differs from the more common Elrathia in that the head is not as wide and the pleurons are more pointed. The bug has both free cheeks intact and tight, which is quite unusual. The detail is very nice, and the overall articulation is excellent. The trilobite is well showcased on the large matrix plate. This is an unusual type of Modocia that displays extremely well.
