4.5" Bolaspidella & Elrathia Trilobite Cluster - Utah
This is a fantastic cluster of close to 100 small Bolaspidella housensis trilobites and a few small Elrathia kingii. It was collected from the famous Wheeler Shale of Utah and prepared using air abrasives to reveal all of the tiny trilobites. Most of the Bolaspidella are about .2" long. It's not uncommon to find clusters of them, but this is a particularly dense and nice cluster.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
