This is the kind of trilobite that every collector dreams about! It is a beautiful Triarthrus eatoni from the Lorraine Group, Whetstone Gulf Formation of upstate New York. The trilobite was prepared slowly, hoping against hope to expose some soft parts of the trilobite. Although only one in hundreds(?) of trilobites in general have traces of soft parts preserved, this specimen was one of the lucky ones! One antenna and a very distinct row of appendages are exposed - these are VERY EASILY seen in the photos and with the naked eye. There have been very, very few trilobites ever found in the fossil record with this much detail of the delicate soft parts. There are even fossil sponge parts preserved near the trilobite. This is a very collectible example of a trilobite displaying its rarely-seen antenna and appendages.
