This is a fabulous example of a famous US trilobite. It is an absolutely stunning Isotelus gigas 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!. Trilobites of this quality, from this site, have been sought-after for over a century! This special fossil is EXTREMELY inflated and 3-D, perfectly articulated, and displays beautifully. The thick shell exoskeleton is very well preserved - the hair pores are even intact on the skin. This is an inflated Isotelus if there ever was one. This is an excellent example of Isotelus gigas, possibly the most classic of all classic US trilobites.
