This is a classic Trinucleid trilobite. It is a detailed Cryptolithus bellulus from the classic site at Swatara Gap, Pennsylvania. This specimen was collected by Steve Hess in 1988. This type of trilobite is known for the unusual pitted fringe that encircles the entire front of the trilobite. This specimen has this feature wonderfully intact. The rest of the trilobite is tightly articulated. The bug's orange coloration is naturally striking. This is a distinct example of this beautifully-fringed trilobite from this closed site.
