This is a cool example of a very uncommon trilobite from Oklahoma. It is a large Maurotarion axitiosum, found in the Bois D'Arc Formation. This specimen came directly from the Eugene Thomas Collection This particular type of trilobite is quite difficult to find because of the small size. This trilobite is complete and extremely inflated. Both free cheeks are intact and tightly attached. The bug has outstanding detail - the long, flaring genal spines are beautifully displayed, and the protruding eyes are easily seen. The fossil has very good color and contrast and displays beautifully on the semi-squared plate of matrix. This is a very fine example of this hard-to-find trilobite from Oklahoma.
