          |  Description:
                This Bathyuriscus formosus 
                was collected back in the 1970s or 1980s. The specimen is just
                about perfect. It has beautiful skin, with all the spines clearly
                defined. The free cheeks are tightly attached.
              Be sure to take special note of the axial nodes present. Trilobites
                from Montana are seldom found. The same genus is found in the
                Marjum Formation of Utah as Bathyuriscus fimbriatus.
