    This is an extremely nice spiny US trilobite. It is a complete Dorypyge swasii from the Middle Cambrian ''Elrathia Beds'' of Millard County, Utah. This striking specimen was found in 1996 and was microscopically prepared in the EXTINCTIONS Prep Lab. This classic spiny trilobite is outstretched and very well articulated. The genal spines are quite evident, the thoracic pleurae terminate in short spines, and the robust pygidial spines are nicely displayed. The distinct trilobite has a long occipital spine and a row of axial spines that have been expertly exposed. The attractive trilobite exhibits very fine detail and has superb natural color and contrast. The fossil bug is beautifully showcased on the large block of dense shale. This is a very displayable, professionally prepared example of this very rare spiny trilobite from Utah.
