Help, I lost a label for my trilobte specimen. My best guess is that this trilobite is from the Wheeler Shale of Utah and it might even be Elrathia kingi. If there are any trilobite buffs out there who can confirm this, it will he helpful. The specimen is about one inch long.
Location: Delta, Utah (?)

A Cryptolithus trilobite from Swatara Gap, Pennsylvania. Many years ago, you could find trilobite fossils at a roadside borrow pit in PA. This site has long been closed, but it was the first time I had found a trilobite and I remember how excited I was. I never found a great specimen, but this strange little Ordovician animal remains a favorite. Plus, it has a cool name.
