Ditomopyge sp.

Before and After preparation with a micro-abrasive unit

This specimen was originally on loan from Olen Taylor.
I was lucky to acquire it at the MAPS show in March 2003.

This specimen is embedded in a nodule.

Olen has hunted this shale locality for several years. Olen
said, "This is the only specimen that I have found in the
out-stretched position." He has found hundreds of small
enrolled trilobites. Again, this specimen is extremely
rare (at this locality).

Special thanks to Carl Cook for preparing this specimen.
