Fossil Site:
Marjum Formation, House Range, Utah

 Description:
This small sized specimen is a dark chocolate brown color, perfectly
preserved, with intact genal and pleural spines. It
resides comfortably on a large block of Marjum shale. It is a
classic species from one of the world’s most important
Cambrian trilobite localities. This comes from a small lot of
Modocias I just purchased. They have become uncommon over the
last few years, as the sites have not been collected professionally.
