This is a rare US trilobite. It is an outstretched Ditomopyge parvulus from Northeast Oklahoma. As most collectors know, Pennsylvanian trilobites are very rare - complete, prone ones are even rarer. But a complete, prone Ditomopyge from Oklahoma is almost unheard of. The bug is nicely outstretched and extremely inflated and 3-D. The natural reddish coloration contrasts beautifully with the grey-green matrix. The trilobite displays well on the natural block of matrix. This is one prone trilobite you do not see everyday.
