I collected some potentially nice Ameura trilobites this past year. I sent them to get professionally prepared and had Malcolm Thornley do the work. Both our efforts have definitely paid off! My favorite is this almost prone bug. There is some small restoration on the back half were some shell flaked from the split. Very happy and impressed with the results. As found After preparation

From the album: Missouri Trilobites
These last few months have been very generous with its fossil output so far. This specimen's head is about 7.5mm long and is what I consider to be very rare. I have only ever found 2 heads in the upper Winterset limestone. In the future, I plan to clean it up a bit, but for now, he stands with his glabella exposed.-

I split out what looked like a promising Ameura trilobite a day ago. After the split, I took the plate home to use a rotary tool to trim the matrix down. Then I used a sewing needle to do some detail work. It turned out not to be complete, as it's right cheek is missing. This specimen would have been around 3 inches if all there, maybe next time!

This appears to me to be a somewhat smashed axial lobe of a Ameura missouriensis, and the first one I have found with the thorax. I found it in the Winterset Limestone Member of the Pennsylvanian, Kansas City Group, near Kansas City, Missouri. Does this ID seem right to you folks? Actually, the thing I want to do is exclude the (highly remote, I know) possibility of an eurypterid. I'm not sure if there is much more to prep as the fossil just disappears into the matrix. Russ
