This is a beautiful plate of Four Ceraurus pleurexanthemus from the famous Walcott-Rust Quarry (WRQ) near Trenton Falls, New York. This type is one of the original trilobites that Charles D. Walcott and James Hall made famous a century ago! The trilobites have great detail preserved, showcasing the pustulated, thick shell exoskeletons beautifully. One bug in particular is very large are and finely detailed - it also has a bitten genal spine! The bugs are very well articulated and very well displayed on the large limestone plate - fully natural, no compositing! Anyone who knows anything about the history of US trilobites knows how important a multiple plate like this is. This is a fabulous multiple example of classic Ceraurus pleurexanthemus trilobites from New York State.
