Specimen: Elrathia antiquata
Location: Floyd Co., Georgia
Period: Middle Cambrian

This lovely specimen measures 2.5 inches long.  The shell material has a thick calcite cover, which can be seen spreading out behind the trilobite.  This specimen was found at the bottom of a running river, in a section of weathered shale. If not for the calcite, this trilobite would have been nothing but mud!
