Albertella sp.
Vendor: Gold Bugs
SKU Number: SQ6108762
This is an unusual Albertella trilobite from the Middle Cambrian, Jangle Limestone of Nye County, Nevada. It was found in float and is lacking macropleural spines. The trilobite is inflated and situated on a hard limestone matrix. The Albertella zone is poorly studied across the American west with the genus itself likely featuring wide variation and speciation that is yet to be described. Nice opportunity for species collectors. There is minor restoration on the genal spine.
Full dimensions are listed below.

Additional Information
There isn’t a lot of information available for this genus. Albertella belongs to the same Order and Family as the genus “Zacanthoides”, which exhibits similarly long genal spines. Albertella helena has a slender exoskeleton, long spines extending from the 3rd thoracic pleura, possibly additional spines on the axial rings, and a small pygidium with long spines. Charles Walcott writes about Albertella helena on Page 19 in “Walcott Cambrian Geology and Paleontology I”:

Olenoides vali Middle Cambrian, Wheeler Shale, Millard County, Utah.
This is an extremely rare and spiny trilobite that is very rarely available on the market. The spines are large and free standing with the occipital spine curving back towards the axial lobe.
This is a very high-end trilobite for the very discerning collector. Very likely the only one currently being offered on the open market!!!
Due to some damage, this trilobite is being offered at a very reasonable price. You won’t find another one available anywhere, or at a price anywhere close to this! Sure to go quickly!

Coosella rieri from the Middle Cambrian, Weeks Formation, House Range, Millard County, Utah.
Like many of the trilobites from the Weeks Formation, this is a rarely seen trilobite. This example is quite large at over 2 cm. Coosella trilobites are characterized by opisthoparian facial sutures, which is the most common suture type in trilobites. The suture runs from the front of the cephalon to the posterior margin.
Fossil size:
Length: 2.4 cm
Width: 1.5 cm
Height: 0.1 cm
Matrix size:
Length: 24.0 cm
Width: 15.0 cm
Height: 1.0 cm

Rhombampyx yii trilobite from the Middle Ordovician, Meitan Formation, Zunyi, Guizhou, China.
The distinct oval/rhomboid dome where the anterior needle spine meets the head is the highly inflated glabella. It is slightly compressed but shows the distinctive bulbous shape unique to raphiophorids.
You can clearly see a thin, straight line pointing straight up from the top of the glabella. This is the base of the median snout spine.
The two elongated cheek spines can be seen on either side of the body. In life, these spines flared outward to stabilize the animal or deter predators, but post-mortem movement or burial compaction has curved it around the cephalon.
