Phillipsia peroccidens (Old designation Phillipsia Tuberculata)
Found both in the Mooney Falls and Thunder Springs members of the Redwall Limestone on the Mogollon Rim far south of the Grand Canyon, this is the most common trilobite. While I know of no one that has found a totally complete specimen, we have all the molted parts available for study. This specimen, collected off Highway 260 East of Payson is in a reddish fossiliferous chert that is packed with fossils. Typical of the Thunder Springs member here.
