Hemirhodon amplipygeOne of the most desired of Utah giant trilobites is the Hemirhodon amplipyge. This one, like the majority found, is an internal mold, having no calcite skin. It has been lightly enhanced to give the specimen presence. The only flaw is the missing tip of the right genal spine. To the best of my knowledge, the quarry from which these come has not been active for years. As a result, quality Hemirhodon amplipyge are now seldom offered to collectors. This is the only specimen I will have to offer. Don’t miss this opportunity to add this truly impressive species to your collection of the handfull of Utah’s giant Cambrian trilobites.

It will be shipped in an attractive glass covered 8 ¾ x 6 ¾” Riker Mount..
