This is the kind of fossil that every collector dreams about! It is a beautiful DOUBLE Triarthrus eatoni from the Lorraine Group, Whetstone Gulf Formation of upstate New York. These special trilobites were prepared slowly, hoping against hope to expose some soft parts of the trilobites. Although only a handful of trilobites in the fossil record have traces of soft parts preserved, BOTH specimens here hit the jackpot! BOTH trilobites have antennae and appendages exposed - these are very easily seen in the photos and with the naked eye. And the coolest feature of this fossil is that the smaller trilobite is preserved DORSALLY, while the larger trilobite is preserved VENTRALLY! (hard to tell in photo.) There have been very, very few trilobites ever found with the delicate soft parts preserved, and natural doubles with both legs AND antennae are extremely rare. This is a very collectible PAIR of trilobites displaying their rarely-seen antennae and appendages. (Note: There is also a graptolite and a worm preserved near the trilobites!)
