This is a fine specimen of Dalmanites limulurus from the Rochester Shale of New York. The trilobite is prone and exhibits fine detail. The long genal spines are quite evident, and the caudal spine is easily seen. The crescent-shaped compound eyes protrude well above the sleek carapace of the trilobite. The brownish-black bug contrasts nicely with the large matrix plate that also contains what looks like a branching crinoid arm. This is an affordable example of Dalmanites limulurus from the Silurian.
