It measures 1" long and is crawling over a pinnule of a crinoid. Associated with the trilobite is a colony of well-preserved Cupulocrinus polydactylus crinoids. These are also some of the best preserved crinoids ever found of this genus. This plate is truly has all the qualities of being a museum quality specimen.
