Isoteloides TrilobiteDescription: Millard County, Utah is famous for the quality, and quantity of its Middle to Upper Middle Cambrian period trilobites. The Ordovician period is also well known, but far fewer trilobites are known and available from these areas. The associates at Fossil Mall have recently leased the most famous and productive of the Ordovician quarry sites. We have named it the Pyramid Ridge Quarry. It is almost guaranteed that any Utah Ordovician trilobite in the world today has come from our quarry site. The trilobites are not common, and intense labor is required to extract quality specimens. We hope to provide you now, and in the future with some of the spectacular fauna to be found at the Pyramid Ridge Quarry.

Isoteloides flexus is perhaps the most well known species to come from the Fillmore. This one was excavated at our Giza diggings. It is mid-sized and in a most excellent state of preservation. Note the robust nature of the specimen. It has thick skin, is fully prone and inflated. Ace preparator Dave Comfort curated it.
