    Platystrophia ponderosa Brachiopod Trimble County, Kentucky TIME PERIOD: Ordovician Period (445-485 Million Years ago) Platystrophia is an extinct genus of brachiopods that lived from the Ordovician to the Silurian in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America. It has a prominent sulcus and fold. It usually lived in marine lime mud and sands. Brachiopods, phylum Brachiopoda, are a group of lophotrochozoan animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalve molluscs. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Two major groups are recognized, articulate and inarticulate. The word "articulate" is used to describe the tooth-and-groove features of the valve-hinge which is present in the articulate group, and absent from the inarticulate group. This is the leading diagnostic feature (fossilizable), by which the two main groups can be readily distinguished. Articulate brachiopods have toothed hinges and simple opening and closing muscles, while inarticulate brachiopods have untoothed hinges and a more complex system of muscles used to keep the two halves aligned. In a typical brachiopod a stalk-like pedicle projects from an opening in one of the valves near the hinges, known as the pedicle valve, keeping the animal anchored to the seabed but clear of silt that would obstruct the opening.

    From the album: MY FOSSIL Collection - Dpaul7

    Calymene tristani Trilobite Jebel Issoumour, Alnif, Morocco TIME PERIOD: Ordovician Age (444-486 Million Years Ago) Calymene (meaning beautiful crescent as a reference to the glabella) is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida that are found throughout North America, North Africa, and Europe in primarily Silurian outcrops. Calymene is closely related to Flexicalymene, and both genera are frequently found inrolled. Calymene trilobites are small, typically 2 cm in length. Their cephalon is the widest part of the animal, and the thorax is usually in 13 segments. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: †Trilobita Order: †Phacopida Family: †Calymenidae Genus: †Calymene Species: †tristani

    Declivolithus alfredi Trilobite SITE LOCATION: Ourzazate, Morocco TIME PERIOD: Ordovician Era (443 to 485 million years ago) Here is a FAINT VERY RARE and absolutely 100% natural Declivolithus cf. alfredi Trilobite Fossil specimen that was found near Ourzazate, Morocco. Trinucleidae is a family of small to average size asaphid trilobites that first occurred at the start of the Ordovician and became extinct at the end of that period. It contains approximately 227 species divided over 51 genera in 5 subfamilies. Trinucleidae is an extinct family of fast-moving low-level epifaunal suspension feeders. Description of the Family: Cephalic fringe broad, sloping outward, with numerous pits on external surfaces. Occipital ring convex. Thorax with six segments,deep apodemal pits in articulating furrows. Pygidium triangular, length 0.25 to 0.5 of width; axis with many rings; pleural fields with shallow pleural furrows. Glabella and genae may have articulate pattern of raised edges.

    Pseudogygites latimarginatus

    From the album: Trilobites

    Pseudogygites latimarginatus
  11. Today on day 2, I spent about six hours in the on and off rain, near Lawrenceburg, Indiana collecting Ordovician fossils. I found numerous trilobite parts, but nothing complete. Things that believe are parts of trilobites- "Isotelus" fragments. These two pieces were on a very large block that was not feasible to try and move. I figured that I would try and get them out, but unfortunately, I was not successful . Many Cephalopods – Brachiopods- "Platystrophia" "Rafinisquina" Gastropods– Believe these to be "Cyclonema". Bryozoan– Crinoid Stems– How they were found:

    Graptolite

    The reverse of this piece has specimens of Tetragraptus serra. and this side shows fragments of other graptolites, possibly Tetragraptus and / or other Dichograptids.

    Orthograptus calcaratus

    A common scandent, biserial form, frequently found alongside the zonal species Didymograptus murchisoni at this famous locality. The individuals on this surface are current aligned.

    Roadcut in Hamilton

    Today I decided to go and visit a roadcut that I red on one of the Silurian literatures I got my hands on (a big thank you to those that led me to those PDFs relating to the geology of the Niagara Escarpment). It turns out the roadcut on the Niagara Escarpment is near my home which is a pleasant suprise to me, considering that I have been disappointed by the Queenston formation. This roadcut is actually several exposures that run on an access road that can lead one to the upper part of Hamilton, Ontario. Here is the exposure I decided to explore. I chose this exposure as the access is a busy boulevard with cars driving by with no sidewalks and pedestrians. I had several people honk and call out to me as I was exploring the site. Maybe I should have worn a safety vest of some sort? Is that even necessary?
  15. Hello, I've been recently fascinated by large isotelus trilobites. Does anyone on here own one and would like to show and talk about it, I would if I owned one but I don't see that happening anytime soon haha. This is the largest I've seen for sale so far that would've been 8 inches, would be nice to be able to find one but I don't have that luxury.
