Utah Trilobites for Sale

Trilobite collecting in Utah enjoys a long and storied history. Going back to the 18th Century the native Ute tribes would find strange “animals of stone” lying on the ground. They would drill holes in their pygidia and wear these half-billion year old fossils around their necks as good luck talisman. They were Elrathia trilobites.

And while the Utes may have been the first to recognize the state’s trilobites as something extraordinary, they certainly weren’t the last.
