As everyone knows, complete Carboniferous trilobites are quite rare and highly collectible. This is a rare double specimen of Ameropiltonia lauradanae from the Mississippian of Missouri. This specimen is totally natural - the trilobites have not been composited. It is very rare to find two examples of this trilobite in such close proximity to each other - nearly touching! This type of trilobite has fine granules completely covering the exoskeleton, which are quite evident on both of these bugs. The two trilobites are inflated and well preserved in dorsal view. Both trilobites are complete and nicely articulated. The brownish color of the trilobites contrasts beautifully with the grey matrix. The fossils are well presented on a large plate of shaley limestone that also contains a partial of yet another trilobite. This is a very fine double specimen of Ameropiltonia lauradanae from the Chouteau Formation.

This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
