This is an excellent Mississippian trilobite. It is a very fine Ameropiltonia lauradanae from the Choteau Formation of Missouri. As everyone knows, complete Carboniferous trilobites are quite rare. This bug is very inflated and extremely well preserved. The fossil is almost perfectly prone, has great color and contrast, and is well centered on the natural matrix plate that also contains a crinoid calyx. This is a very detailed example of an Ameropiltonia trilobite.
