Here is an excellent specimen of Elrathia marjumi from the Marjum Formation of Utah. This species of Elrathia is MUCH rarer than Elrathia kingi, and is from a different formation. This outstretched trilobite is wonderfully articulated and exhibits outstanding detail. Both free cheeks are present, and even the small genal spines are intact. The crescent-shaped eyes are easily seen, and the individual thoracic segments are clearly defined. The bug has fine natural color and contrast and is well showcased on the somewhat large, natural plate of shale. This is a large and very fine example of this unusual species of Elrathia from the Marjum Formation.
