One
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.
