This is a fabulous multiple trilobite plate. It is an amazing slab of Ampyxina bellatula from Pike County, Missouri. We found this specimen in the 1980's, and it has been in our collection ever since. This impressive plate has DOZENS of complete trilobites preserved! This slab represents an Ordovician sea floor teeming with life, then rapidly buried without a moments notice, forming a ''fossil snapshot'', capturing that exact moment in geologic time for all eternity. The face of the rock is just covered with trilobites - there are very few blank spaces. Some of the trilobites still have their long, thin genal spines intact, which is rare for this type. This is one of the most prolific trilobite plates of any species we've ever had, simply a great multiple slab.
