In this section, Ive assembled some shots of small slabs found at this locality in the trilobite horizon in the green shale facies. Nearly 100% of the specimens are Zacanthoides walapai, with a few hyolithids mixed in. I thought it might be fun to just have a page devoted to such spectacularly crowded slabs of just so many cambrian trilobites from Arizona! All images taken with Logitech web cam and high intensity LED lighting.
