Paladin chesterensis

Big Clifty Formation

Crawford County, IN

Mississippian

 

Here is an outstanding example of a very rare Mississippian trilobite from southern Indiana. This trilobite, Paladin chesterensis, is found very rarely at an outcrop that most people hunt for blastoids. This trilobite has great preservation and measures 1" long. The trilobite is also draped over a Pentremites blastoid which makes it a very unique association piece.
