A mollusc Sinuites plus a free cheek of a trilobite. Any thoughts about the trilobite in question? Thanks in advance, Miguel

Sorry about the slight blur around the edges on the photos. I had to much sun light peeping into my prepping shed. I've attached a relevant PDF for the location of the find as well.

I am currently down to about 100 specimens and will include more pictures when I pull them out of the basement for that purpose. They are heavily traded and many of the better specimens are sought after by collectors and museums. I know that they have been around the Tucson show for more than ten years. Called Mercenaria Permagna with dogtooth calcite spar inclusions. The pit is currently closed but spoil piles are still available to the collector for a fee. More information on this fossil type is available at: SEGS-Guidebook-45.pdf, (State of Florida) online. Or search google images using: "calcite clams".

I'm having difficulty identifying this specimen. I found it in Osagean, probably Visean limestone in Lawrence County, Missouri, associated with various other monoplacophorans, which I believe to be kirengellids or something similar. The last picture is an example of an associated fossil of a similar size, being about 3.2cm from foot to apex. I also found in the same piece of stone a smaller, more rounded specimen, as well as fragments of a third. Stinchcomb and Angeli describe two species that share some characteristics with the fossil in question[1]. Kirengella oregonensis, which is found in cherts from the Roubidoux Formation (Lower Ordovician) in Oregon County, Missouri, is described as "strongly laterally compressed" with "aperture oval" (p. 971). And a new species, Wildernessia inexpecatans, from the same area, is described as having "apical curvature; aperture sub-elliptical forming cone; apex centrally located" (p. 973). Neither of these, of course, is what I have, since I am pretty certain my object came from a nearby quarry and is therefore Visean. But could it be another, later type of Kirengellid? 1.
