Trilobite from the Cambrian Period found in the Utah West Desert.
Trilobites (meaning "Three-Lobed"), first appeared in our oceans approximately 521 million years ago before Going extinct around 240 Million Years Ago.
Most trilobites found in the West Desert of Utah are anywhere from under a 1/2" to 1 1/8" tall. The larger the trilobite after 1 1/8", the more rare the find, especially found on a nice size matrix shale and the trilobite near the center.
