U-Dig Trilobite Quarry

The U-Dig Trilobite Quarry is located in Western Utah, 34 miles north of Delta. The carbonaceous shale at the quarry is part of the Wheeler Formation.
I brought home abundant samples. Shown in the photo above are Asaphiscus and Elrathia. I also have some small samples of Perenopsis and the inarticualte brachipod, Acrotreta; all index fossils of the M. Cambrian.
