Large, 3.5" Huntonia Lingulifer (Rare Species) - Oklahoma
This is a rare, long-spined Huntonia lingulifer trilobite from the famous Black Cat Mountain in Oklahoma. It was collected and prepared by the master himself Bob Carrolli. It's 3.5" which is huge for the species, the largest one I've seen. Very nicely presented on a large block of marlstone with excellent eye facet detail.
Huntonia lingulifer is MUCH rarer than the other species of Huntonia in the same horizon at Black Cat Mountain. Less than one in ten of the Huntonia's found are lingulifer, so on average there may only be one or two good complete specimen found each year. One of the main characteristics that separate it from the other species of Huntonia at the locality is the much longer pygidial (tail) spine.

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.
