I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

One of my favorite orders of trilobites has always been the Harpetid trilobites. I find their unusual appearance fascinating and enjoy their rarity compared to the other trilobite orders. I would love to see your Harpetid trilobites as I don't see them frequently on the forum. Also, I have purchased a couple Harpetid trilobites over the years: Bohemoharpes bupthalmus A split Harpides sp. Eoharpes sp. Dubhglasina yunnanensis

Is this harpes trilobite real from China. Its from Yunnan. Also, if anyone knows the formation this could have come from it would be nice. -
Thoughts on this Harpes trilobite
xDiamondX posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Thoughts on this Harpes trilobite? looks good to me. matrix colour is different, split through a crack on the specimen. prep looks ok and eyes are nice and beady. Anything anyone else notices/wants to comment on?
