Elrathia kingii trilobite mortality plate found in the West Desert of Utah.  This plate measures approximately 8.5" tall by 6.5" wide and 1 1/4" thick.  Two whole Elrathia kingii molt trilobites as well as some pieces and several trilobite imprints can be seen on this mortality plate.

This is called a "Mortality Plate" because it is a frozen snapshot of a death assemblage.

Stand and information card included.

Trilobites (meaning "Three-Lobed"), first appeared in our oceans approximately 550 million years ago before going extinct around 240 million years ago.  From the Cambrian period.
