This is an uncommon Oklahoma trilobite. It is a fine example of Cyphaspis carrolli from the Haragan Formation. This specimen was acquired from the late Eugene Thomas' Collection. This species of trilobite has an extremely bulbous glabella and very slender genal spines. A long thoracic spine emanates from the sixth segment - this spine has been meticulously exposed on this specimen. This trilobite is wonderfully preserved and exhibits great detail. Both genal spines are easily seen, and the knob-like eyes are quite evident. The trilobite is extremely inflated and 3-dimensionally preserved. The bug is well showcased on the sculpted limestone block. This is a fine specimen of Cyphaspis carrolli with all of its spines intact.
