Rare Homotelus florencevillensis Trilobite from Ordovician Iowa

Homotelus florencevillensis is an Asaphid trilobite (Order: Asaphida; Family: Asaphidae Subfamily: Isotelinae) coming from the Ordovician Maquoketa Formation dolomitic shale strata of Clayton County, Iowa. This is a prone example of the type; most are found either incomplete or enrolled, making this a most uncommon example. It has affinities with both Isotelus and Anataphrus (see my other offerings for examples).
