This is a very fine Bumastus ioxus from the Rochester Shale of New York. This trilobite is very 3-dimensional, extremely prone, and nicely articulated - both free cheeks are intact and tightly attached. The dark trilobite contrasts beautifully with the light grey matrix. The bug is nicely presented on the large plate of shale. And at over one inch long, it is somewhat large for a Bumastus from this site. This is a very nice example of this classic Silurian trilobite.
