Ameura missouriensis Trilobite and Amphiscapha Gastropod
Found this beauty on a trip near Nodoway county along the Platte River. This most likely belongs to the Kereford limestone member of the Oread Limestone formation. The limestone itself is oolitic and can be seen in the missing/glabella cast of the trilobite. It sits atop a possibly a very thin to nonexistent layer of the Heumader but definitely atop a larger exposure of Plattsmouth with beautiful brachiopods with spines. This trilobite is definitely a rare find for the area.
