Nephalicephalus beebei TrilobiteDescription: This trilobite has only recently been described, and I have yet to see the pertinent literature reference. Based upon its morphological similarities with Menomonia, Dresbachia, and Densonella, I assume it has been placed in the same family (Menomoniidae). All are highly-sought examples, and few collectors have seen one of this new member of the “club”.
