This is a very cool Trinucleid fossil. It is a colorful Cryptolithus bellulus trilobite from the classic site at Swatara Gap, Pennsylvania. This distinct specimen was collected by Steve Hess in 1987. This type of trilobite is known for the unusual pitted fringe that encircles the entire front of the trilobite. This specimen has this feature wonderfully displayed. The rest of the trilobite also has very nice detail and is well inflated. The bug's rust-orange coloration is quite striking. This is a fully natural example of a classic Cryptolithus trilobite from this long-closed site.
