Found a nice little spot nearby, I only spent a couple hours and if it's not too hot I'll be heading back tomorrow!

From the album: Canandaigua trilobites
Several thoraces, two cephalons of Eldregeops Rana from what is probably the Smoke Creek Trilobite Bed of the Windom Shale. This sample comes from a creek on private land on the West shore of Canandaigua Lake in New York State Finger Lakes region -
Ceratarges sp. and Phacops
gigantoraptor posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello Does these trilobites looks real? It's a ceratarges and a Phacops from Merakib, Morocco. The seller said there are 27 hours of work in this piece. What are your opinions? Thanks for looking

I recently cleaned this Phacops trilobite for a friend in the local Gem and Mineral club. He found it last August in a quarry near Paulding, OH. Only flaw is a missing upper lip.

I have by good fortune acquired a few decent Devonian Phacops trilobite specimens from the Penn Dixie Quarry in Hamburg, NY. One particular rock has a few decent Phacops embedded directly in the rock. I wanted to know what the steps are for preparing these fossils, or if I should just send them to a preparer. Please provide any advice you can. Thank you. I have a bunch of fossils and am new to the preparing process.

I have a decent collection of trilobites (Phacops, Elrathia Kingi, Perenopsis) along with a new Eoredlichia that's being shipped directly from China. I also have a large assortment of sharks teeth (Bull, Sand Tiger, Tiger, Snaggletooth) from the Calvert Cliffs Maryland area, a pristine condition Ecphora (Maryland state fossil), a saltwater crocodile tooth, turritella's, quartz horned corals (W New York), porpoise teeth, shark vertebrae, dolphins bones and vertebrae fragments, and numerous other fossils.

I purchased this trilobite from Colorado, I was told it is a Phacops but from what I read it seems a bit on the large side. Since I was told its from Morocco I questioned its authenticity but due to the damage I think it is real but crudely excavated. Any thoughts on this specimen would be appreciated.

I was posting these pictures in a previous thread from my first cephalon that I prepped myself. I started this little guy as a practice piece until I suddenly discovered he had a complete body hiding in the rock. I've been uploading pictures step-by-step as I work on it. Figured I would share them as a separate topic.

Have a nice ~2cm wide E. rana cephalon from the Penn Dixie site (~42.778860, ~-78.832180) that I collected earlier this summer. I have been practicing prepping trilo-bits and wanted to share my first "finished" result. There are still a few tiny places where I could've probably gotten a little more of the matrix out, but I went for 'better safe than sorry' given my low-grade equipment. Open to advice and/or suggestions!

I was perusing trilobites on e-bay and came across this gem: the seller makes no bones about the fact that it is a resin cast of a Phacops mortality plate. What is interesting is the level of detail of the cast, including individual lenses on the schizochroal eyes. Most of the websites discussing trilobite fakes indicate that if you see details like terrace lines and individual eye facets, there is a very good chance that it is not a fake (at least those parts of the trilobite). This cast changes those rules, it seems. In the close-up views, you can see bubbles from the setting resin (another tell-tale sign of a resin cast). So, in conclusion...be watchful...the level of detail in resin casts has just gone up a notch. ---Prem

These are the best of the bugs I found at Penn Dixie. Highly recommend this site, especially for families!
