This is a fabulous Lower Cambrian trilobite. It is a striking Olenellus gilberti from the Pioche Formation of Nevada. This specimen was acquired from the famous Eugene Thomas Collection. The trilobite is complete including the long 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 showcased on the large, squared plate. This is an excellent example of a Lower Cambrian Olenellus gilberti.
