This is a very distinct specimen of Asaphiscus wheeleri from the Cambrian of Utah. This trilobite was found by Steve Hess in 1997 and just now prepared. This type of trilobite has a huge, semicircular cephalon and a large, somewhat rounded pygidium. This bug is nicely preserved in a prone, outstretched position. The dark color of the fossil contrasts wonderfully with the lighter-colored matrix. The trilobite is well presented on the semi-rectangular block of shale. This is a displayable example of Asaphiscus from the House Range.
