The Wheeler Shale Formation is a well-known rock formation located in western Utah, famous for its rich and diverse assemblage of trilobite fossils. The trilobite species found in this formation lived during the Middle Cambrian period, approximately 505 to 509 million years ago.

Some of the most commonly found trilobites in the Wheeler Shale Formation include Elrathia kingii, Olenellus fremonti, Asaphiscus wheeleri, and Bolaspidella sp., among many others. Wheeler Shale trilobites are highly sought after by collectors and scientists, as they provide valuable information about the evolution and diversity of life during the Cambrian Period. or much rarer like this specimen of altiocculus harrisi
