Plantguy Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hey PL, nice examples. Made me think about a couple of specimens in my collection that were labeled from China that I had gotten from somewhere and that I had always wondered about their authenticity and honestly never really looked at too closely. Grampa Dino's posted warning is well heeded for both locales. Anyways, I looked at your photos and compared them to what I had. I am not a trilo person but they seem to have the same general coloration as yours and the same shape. The specimen in my photo on the right is sitting in a plane with lots of trilobite debris. Maybe you or some of the trilobite experts can verify they are indeed Ductina. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleecan Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 From China or Marocains look real close before you buyB) That is good advice. These Ductina trilo must be common in China... priced sub $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 That's a very attractive trilobite fossil What is the nature of the buff-colored layer that covers most of it?

pleecan Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 That's a very attractive trilobite fossil What is the nature of the buff-colored layer that covers most of it? Hi Auspex: At one point I was tempted to sand blast the trilo with baking soda to clean of the tan colored deposit. I am wondering if at a later a fissure developed in the fossil permitting ground water containing dissolved mineral to seep into the bedding plane thus creating the mineralized deposits... reminds me of a hard water scum mark similar to the sediments at the bottom of a kettle.....

Dicranurus Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Here is a couple of my chinese trilobites. I have also Ductina vietnamica, Yunnanocephalus yunnanensis and Wutingaspis tingi but I don't have under 2M photos for them. 1) Changaspis elongate 2) Eoredlichia intermedia 3) Maotunia sp. 4) Encrinuroides cf. enshiensis 5) Coronocephalus cf. jastrowii "It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest.
