This is a cool 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 above the sleek carapace of this well displayed trilobite. The brownish-black bug contrasts well with the grey matrix plate. This is a nice, detailed example of Dalmanites limulurus from the Silurian.
