ELRATHIA TRILOBITES FOR SALE

Elrathia kingii is a classic Middle Cambrian trilobite and possibly the most recognizable trilobite species in the world. They typically average a little less than an inch in length, though very large individuals can reach about 2 inches. Elrathia's body shape, mouth parts, and high concentrations suggest they were particle feeders, scavenging the ocean floor for food.

They are quarried by the thousands at several commercial quarries near Antelope Springs in the House Range of western Utah. We microscopically prepare our Elrathia specimens using air abrasives, which produces much higher quality and detailed trilobite preparations than the those prepped by wire brush at the quarries.
