This is an excellent 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 and the bulbous glabella is nicely displayed. The bug has good color and contrast and is well centered on the matrix plate. This is a very nice specimen of a trilobite that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
