This is a fine specimen of Dalmanites limulurus from the Rochester Shale of New York. The trilobite is prone and exhibits fine detail. The long genal spines are quite evident, and the caudal spine is easily seen. The crescent-shaped eyes protrude above the sleek carapace of this wonderfully articulated trilobite. The brownish-black bug contrasts nicely with the large matrix plate. This is a nice example of Dalmanites limulurus from the Silurian.
