This is a fabulous Lower Cambrian trilobite. It is a striking Olenellus gilberti from the Pioche Formation of Nevada. This specimen was recently acquired from the famous DeRosear Collection, and you can easily see why. The trilobite is complete including the telson (tailspine). The detail of this trilobite is wonderful - even the long genal and pleural spines are wonderfully showcased. The bug is nicely inflated and well centered on the large, squared plate. And at almost three inches long, it is a whopper! This is one of the most impressive Olenellus gilberti trilobites we have ever had.
