Utaspis marjumensisDescription: This trilobite is a most uncommon (use of the term rare has become somewhat hackneyed) example of the Ptychopariid Utaspis marjumensis. The specific name is derived from the deposits in which it is found. This is the first example I have been able to offer in recent history, and represents a large example of the type.
