Collector9658 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Been on a bit of a bug hunt lately. After a lot of effort, I found a layer with trilobites. After some research, it seems the 3 types of trilobite genus available in Pennsylvanian aged rocks around this area are Ameura, Anisopyge, and Ditomopyge. Ameura missouriensis is reported from the Deer Creek Formation and looks like the closest match. I just wanted to get some second opinions and see what others thought as well.

piranha Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Anisopyge is restricted to the Permian. Congrats on these Ameura missouriensis.

I really wanted to find this particular bug now for years, so it's been quite a goal checked off my list. I'll have some complete ones to share after preparation!
