Ordovician Trilobite

Hey gang,

 

I picked up a box of material from an estate sale out here a couple of weeks ago and have been having a go at it. Finally got around to taking some pictures.

 

This little trilobite has me confused. The tag reads:

 

Ampynna bellatula

Trilobite

Ordovician

Maquoketa Formation

Southern MO

 

The formation, age, and location are correct as far as I can tell, but the name isn't bringing anything back.

 

Keep in mind ESTATE sale. Could have been collected DECADES ago. I know names change so that is my only thought.

 

Thanks for any help!!

If it will help I may be able to get off my lazy bum and take some pics under magnification. Just let me know!

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
