Burgess trilobite
Ogygopsis klotzi is the large, smooth trilobite that paves the Mount Stephen Trilobite Beds above Field, British Columbia, part of the Burgess Shale in Yoho National Park. It is a reference entry only: the beds are protected and no legal specimens are sold. Older museum-exchange specimens exist in institutional collections.
