This is a very nice Mississippian trilobite. It is a fine Breviphillipsia sampsoni from the Choteau Formation of Missouri. As everyone knows, complete Carboniferous trilobites are quite rare. This bug is inflated and very well preserved. The fossil is extremely prone, has great color and contrast, and is well centered on the natural matrix plate. This is a very detailed example of a Breviphillipsia trilobite.
