This is a good specimen of the blind trilobite, Ampyxina bellatula, from the Ordovician of Missouri. At one time, these trilobites were found somewhat prolifically, but not anymore. The trilobite is outstretched and exhibits very fine detail. The individual segments of the trilobite are well defined. The bulbous glabella is nicely displayed. The trilobite is well centered on the matrix plate. This is a very nice specimen of a trilobite that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
