This is a very nice specimen of Illaenus schmidti from the Ordovician of Russia. Illaenus schmidti differs from the more common species by having sharply pointed genal areas. This specimen is outstretched (somewhat unusual for Illaenus) and nicely articulated. It is very 3-dimensional and exhibits fine detail. The caramel-brown color of the trilobite contrasts nicely with the light-colored matrix. It is well positioned on the natural block of limestone. This is an excellent specimen of Illaenus schmidti.
