Size: Trilobite is 1.65 inches longWe will be auctioning some cool fossils here over the next few weeks, so keep checking back.This is a very nice, large specimen of Asaphiscus wheeleri from the Cambrian of Utah. This trilobite was found by Steve Hess in 2006 at the public U-Dig site. This type o...f trilobite has a huge, semicircular cephalon and a large, somewhat rounded pygidium. This detailed bug is nicely preserved in a prone, outstretched position. Both free cheeks are intact, which is quite unusual. The dark color of the fossil contrasts wonderfully with the lighter-colored matrix. This distinct trilobite has a small bite mark on the left side pleurons, quite rare. Also on the left side, near the cephalon, are two TINY baby Elrathia trilobites. This is a very nice, collectible example of complete, bitten Asaphiscus in association with Elrathia from the House Range of Utah.
