  1. So I was talking with a guy at work and he asked me how long that I have been collecting fossils. So I looked into it, it has been just over 6 months !!!! I was shocked when I seen it, but then I am stoked that I started. I am slowly branching out to others, but stay mainly after trilobites. Figured I would share a shelf of collected fossils to celebrate! Hahahaaa!
  2. So I stopped at a spot and checked it out today and yesterday. I found a few things. Starting with an isotelus head. I looked but could not find more.

    another day

    I went out to find a few more. I was more than happy! I found another isotelus fossil, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Added another day as well.

    a special trip today

    I was fortunate enough to be invited to a Christmas party hosted by Dan Cooper today. I arrived not knowing what to expect as I had never met him, let alone his friends and family. It didn't take long to figure out that I was with amazing people. Everyone there was so laid back and had a passion for fossils and fossil collecting. Dan is by far one of the most laid back and nicest people that I have met. He took the time to take me around his facility and show me fossils that were being prepped and parts of his collection, as well as introducing me to his friends and family. I can't say enough about this guy and the people that were there! Anyhow, a few photos from the visit.
  5. Hopped out after work to look around and found this flexicalymene. When I first spotted it, it was partially covered by dirt. First thought was a partial prone, but was hoping for it to be full. I actually chuckled when I picked it up to examine it. This poor guy was smashed flatter than a pancake. It is a full roller, but it's rolling days have been long gone! Hahaha! Have any of you guys found any like this?
  6. On Saturday I met back up with Kaden and went to look around. Turned out to be the worst day I have had fossil hunting in awhile, I was skunked. Kaden jokingly told me that my luck had ran out. After 3 or 4 hours we both parted ways, I headed home and he made a quick stop elsewhere. I believe he ended up with 2 or 3 trilobites and other various things. The next day I woke up early and hadn't planned going after fossils as it was very cold and windy. It didn't take long and I grew bored and heard the fossils calling my name. I bundled up and headed out. I am glad I did. It turned out to be the best day so far for me. I ended up with 11 full trilobites ( a couple slightly damaged) including a prone. A couple other damaged prones were further damaged between finding and getting them home.
  7. Got out early and drove to check a spot out. Found a broken isotelus that is preserved amazing. Couldn't find the other part. Maybe next time. Will add photos when I get home.

    around 2 months of learning

    I gained interest in this way late in life but can't get enough of it! Thanks to the books that members have suggested, many videos that I have watched, and all the knowledge this forum and it's members provide I have learned a bunch, and want to thank everyone that has taken time to help me . Not long ago I was in search for my first trilobite, and while cleaning things out I was shocked at what I saw. Here are some of the flexis that I have gathered since joining this site. It blows my mind! I have met a couple members so far, and hope to meet more in the future. You guys are amazing! Thanks you all!

    A Couple More Trilobites

    Hooked back up with Kaden again today and found a couple more Flexis. Also found a couple things I have yet to ID. I know that he found at least one full roller. Not a great day, but not horrible either. We checked a couple spots out, and even found a new spot with a lot of potential. We didn't spend a bunch of time fossil hunting as we also went fishing. We have plans on going out of state to chase trilobites next weekend! The large Flexi I found looked as if he was upset setting on his perch. Any ideas on the Fossil in the bottom two photos? Approximately 3/4" wide and 1/2" tall.
  10. Went out today and found what I believe to be a very small headless isotelus. Also found some flexis, and various other things. Here are a few photos from today.
  11. Jumped out after work and did a bit of trilobite searching. Ended up finding a couple whole flexis, a bunch of partials, and found a ton of isotelus fragments. Possibly a isotelus butt, when I picked it up part of it broke away and when it fell it shattered into 100s of pieces. Also is that a trilobite burrow? If any of you guys can confirm or deny, please do. Thanks for looking!

    hopped out for a quick trip

    Hopped out for a short time today. Just wasn't feeling it. But I plan on going back out soon. But before I left I did find some flexicalymene partials, a bunch of isotelus fragments, including the mouth plate that I kept in the photo. I also grabbed a few cool hash plates with a good variety on them all.

    cool new fossil

    New fossil that was just delivered that I purchased. Two flexicalymene intertwined. Thought it was super cool and thought that I would share. New additions to the collection.
  14. Disappointed, I did not find a whole trilobite today after work. But I found loads of partials and what I believe is a large section of isotelus in matrix. In your opinion would it be worth messing with or just leave it where it is? Here are a few photos from today. One good sized cephalopod, you can see part of it inside the matrix to the right of the exposed section.

    Is this a Rusophycus

    Is this a Rusophycus pudicum trace fossil. It is from the ordivician of Kentucky, the kope formation.

    Calymene or Flexycalimene

    Greetings everyone. I was thinking of buying this one because I liked the preservation, the way it is placed on the rock and the general way it looks that is not the common one that we are used to see on these from Morocco. I was wondering is it a Flexycalimene or Calymene, and could it be anything special regarding the species? Thank you all!
  17. Hi all, I have this beautiful trilobite and was wondering if it would be a good candidate for prepping further. Information I have on this is Flexicalymene from Orab, Ohio. My questions are: Would you think baking soda at a low PSI from a handheld air eraser (thinking of buying a Paasche) would clean this up nicely and give that shiny, "wet" look? I recently saw a photo of a similar specimen where the person who prepped it exposed the hypostome. Would you think that is a possibility here? I am unsure if hypostomes always preserve - though the trilobite looks like it may have it (see photo)

    Flea Market Trilobite

    Was doing some cleaning yesterday and rediscovered this lil guy, totally forgot I even had em! I think I got him about 5 years at a local antique fair, so no clue where it came from or if it's even real... Always eager to learn more!
  19. Hello, im new in fossiles collecting, absolute new beginner. I wonder if my fossiles are genuine or fake, i was so proud of my collection but after i learned that there are many fake Moroccan trilobites on sale, i had suspicions. There are some holes in trilobite and some stuff on it, could be glued which is fine because its age matters to me most, it could be glued no problem. I put them under a plastic sheet but if you wish i can take them out to take better pictures.
  20. Hey all, Does anyone have any good publications on differences between Flexicalymene meeki and retrosa? Assuming formation is unknown is there any way one could get a relatively positive ID on species?
  21. Three days ago, I made my first trip ever out to the St. Leon road cut in hopes of finding my first ever identifiable trilobite fossil. I had found only one trilobite before along the Ohio River, and much of it had eroded to where it was unrecognizable. St. Leon did not disappoint, even in spite of my cluelessness about which formation was which. After searching for awhile in the rain and beginning to feel discouraged about not finding a trilobite, I saw this fellow tucked away in a large rock. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring anything for scale, but the trilobite was roughly 2 cm across. I left the rock with the hopes of finding another trilobite that would be easier to take home. Just as I was beginning to trek back to my car, I found “Tilly” directly under my boot: It wasn’t a complete trilobite, but I was and am exceedingly happy with the features on this fossil. I left soon after for the day with this fossil in haul and a few others, which are included in the following images (it is worthy to note that in between my collection of the trilobite and my taking the picture below, I had done roughly 5 hours of prep work with a dental pick and a toothbrush): For the next time I post, I will certainly purchase a ruler or standard cm cube and find a better surface to place the fossils on, but this is all I have at home at the moment. I returned to St. Leon today with a similar objective as my first outing: trilobites. Once again, I was not disappointed. As you can see, these will need a lot more prep work than Tilly, but I’m excited for the challenge. I also found some other neat fossils whilst searching today: Overall, I am very happy with my trips down to St. Leon, and felt they were productive. For someone who is relatively new to the hobby, the road cut makes many types of fossils accessible in one small place, which is very neat. The area just requires cautious and careful movement, as much of the road cut is effectively cliffs of rock. If anyone feels the inclination to point out any genera or species of the fossils, I would greatly appreciate it, though I understand that the images I took are not of great quality. I know Tilly is a Flexi (F. meeki?), but that is admittedly the extent of my knowledge. Thank you for reading through this transcript of my journeys! P.S. I’m including another image of post-prep Tilly for fun. I tried to scrape more, but the fossil was just too fragile and kept breaking on me.
  22. These are some trilobites that I found nearly 30 years ago in Charleston, West Virginia. They were in gravel driveways throughout the development I was living in. I believe that the gravel was coming from the same quarry - but I have no idea where that is. Maybe one of you trilobite experts might have some idea? 1 is either a flexicalymene or a calymene. I think 2 is an encrinurus. 1. 2. 3. 4.

    Flexicalymene?

    Hi everyone, this is a trilobite I bought when I was like 5 at the Natural History Museum in Washington, DC. Unfortunately, over the past decade I've lost the ID tag for it. I think it's a flexicalymene or calymene, but I'd really appreciate any possible guesses!
