This is a wonderful pair of trilobites. It is a true Ceraurus pleurexanthemus double from the famous Walcott-Rust Quarry near Trenton Falls, New York. This type is one of the original trilobites that Charles D. Walcott and James Hall made famous a century ago! Both specimens are complete, with both free cheeks and eyes intact. The plate also has numerous bryozoans and other fossils preserved. Anyone who knows anything about the history of US trilobites knows how important a trilobite association plate from this locality is - it is a piece of history. This is a very nice multiple example of classic Ceraurus pleurexanthemus trilobites from New York State.
