RARE Carboniferous Phillipsia Trilobite Association

Description: By the Carboniferous the only Order of trilobites left was Proetida. Of the various families, the Phillipsiidae were the Ultimate Survivors, lasting until the Late Permian. This is amember of the patronymic genus Phillipsia coming from the Middle Carboniferous of Kazakhstan, seen here in association with a brachiopod and several other framgmentary fossils. Carboniferous trilobites are rarely offered, and ones from such an exotic location as this are even more unusual.
