This is a "classic" U.S. trilobite. It is a complete Arctinurus boltoni from the Silurian of New York. This is one of the most sought-after and displayable types of trilobites in the world. We collected the quarry for a year, and only found a handful of complete specimens. This trilobite was collected by Steve Hess in 1992 and was just now prepared. This wonderfully articulated trilobite is very prone and exhibits fine detail. The cephalic process and the eyes of the trilobite are easily seen. The pleural spines terminate in sharp points and the broad, fan-shaped pygidium is beautifully displayed. The entire carapace of the trilobite is covered with pustules. The right cheek of the trilobite exhibits an unusual bite mark made by a hungry fish or some other predator. The fossil has great color and contrast and is perfectly centered on the rectangular plate. This is a great example of this highly collectible Lichid trilobite.
