This is a very nice Odontopleura (Sinespinaspis) markhami from the Lower Silurian of Australia. The detail of the exoskeleton is amazing - this bug has several rows of fine pustules on the thoracic segments along with tiny pleural and pygidial spines. The fossil has good color and contrast and is well showcased on the large plate of matrix. This is a fine example of this Silurian Odontopleurid trilobite from Down Under.
