A couple more Platteville Formation Grant Co. Wisconsin Trilobite and some others
SteveRogers posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I had some time to look at a few more of the rocks from my collection trip into Wisconsin Platteville Grant County 1,2,3 First is a flat creek rock I gave a scrub and I think it has a trilobite cephalon. 4,5,Is a rock that appears to have a trilobites or it coiled be a broken bivalve? It's in a flakey rock so I haven't picked at it much. I included a side picture of the sediments. 6,7 I am pretty sure these are Chondrites? Or something similar? There are also some other bits in it 8 is a bit of hash plate but it has what I assume must be pyrite bits that are a bit flashy golden - hard to see in the pic but there ar little bit popping out and reflective - I figured I before I show my daughter I figured I should confirm they are pyrite or something similar - and not what she will immediately think it is! Thanks and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'll keep sorting and seeing what I got and maybe walk a creek or two for fun -
This is my third and final request for an ID today!!! I lean towards this being a trilobite. If there is doubt, I will use a hammer to help expose this. If it is likely a trilobite, I will work on it in a little less physical way. It was collected 2 weeks ago in SW Wisconsin, Platteville Formation, Ordovician. Mike
