This is a fabulous example of a classic US trilobite. It is a killer Ceraurus pleurexanthemus from the famous Walcott-Rust Quarry (WRQ) near Trenton Falls, New York. This is one of the original trilobites that Charles D. Walcott and James Hall made famous a century ago! This specimen is complete, with both free cheeks and both tailspines intact. The trilobite is extremely inflated and 3-D, and has great detail preserved, showcasing the pustulated, thick shell exoskeleton beautifully. The bug is very well articulated and is beautifully showcased on the large limestone block along with a complete baby Ceraurus. Anyone who knows anything about the history of US trilobites knows how collectible a trilobite from this locality is - it is an important piece of history. It is a very collectible example of a classic Ceraurus pleurexanthemus trilobite from New York State.
