This is a massive example of a classic US trilobite. It is a HUGE Dalmanites limulurus from the Silurian of New York. The trilobite is almost perfectly prone and very nicely articulated. The bug is well inflated and exhibits fine detail. The compound eyes protrude well above the sleek carapace of the trilobite. The broad genal spines and the pointed caudal spine are clearly defined. The fossil has excellent color and contrast and is well showcased on the large plate of shale. And it is just gigantic for thiss type - almost THREE INCHES LONG! This is a large, collectible example of this distinct trilobite from the Rochester Shale.
