This is a cool Trinucleid trilobite. It is a beautiful Cryptolithus bellulus from the classic site at Swatara Gap, Pennsylvania. This specimen was collected by Steve Hess in 1991. This type of trilobite is known for the unusual pitted fringe on the front of the trilobite - this specimen has this feature wonderfully displayed (see photo). The rock has been repaired, but the rest of the trilobite has excellent detail preserved. And the bug's natural orange coloration is just awesome. This is a very distinct example of this colorful, beautifully-fringed trilobite from this classic closed site.
