A rare 2 cm Teresellus goldfieldensis trilobite from the Lower Cambrian of the Poleta Formation, Esmeralda County, Nevada. These trilobites occur in a narrow zone in one place on the planet in Nevada. The host rock is notable as it resembles the weight and consistency of pumice. The rock was originally a limestone but the entire carbonate component was leeched out leaving behind an unusual solid but very lightweight host rock.
