This is an excellent specimen of Coronocephalus rex rex from the Silurian of China. This type of trilobite has a small, pustulose glabella and long cephalic spines. The anterior border of the cephalon is quite crenulated, and the large pygidium has short, thin spines along the pygidial border. This trilobite is hardly ever found with the free cheeks present, but this specimen is very well articulated - both free cheeks are intact! The natural, orange-yellow coloration of the trilobite is quite striking. The distinct bug is nicely showcased on the small block of rock. This is a beautiful, top quality example of Coronocephalus from China.
