I recently bought a bunch of trilobites from an old collection. The seller didn't have much information on the trilobites besides them originating somewhere in the midwest. (He bought the fossils as part of a collection). I'm wondering if anyone recognized the possible formation they could have originated from and the IDs of the trilobites? Here are the photos:

I found a trilobite I posted a bit back that was clearly ate in half. I found a lose trilobite piece that came out on split and looked a bit like the first I found but wanted to check if others thought same? The back end looks normal, middle area looks crushed like, then head missing. I was trying to look up photos of wounded or ate trilobites but could only find ones with small healed wounds. Wanted to find out so don't just throw in bag of bits and parts if it really is a ate one. #1 #1(closer)

From the album: Mississippian fossils
An enrolled Comptonaspis swallowi I found today. Unfortunately, some of the shell has weathered away. I'm still pretty happy as these aren't the easiest trilobites to collect anymore.-

Hi, I was recently looking at some small fossils under magnification and think I might have a couple trilobite parts mixed in with a bunch of brachiopods? One fossil appears to be a "cheek" and is about 8mm on it's longest axis, the other appears to be the side of the body and is only about 3mm long. These are from the lower Silurian in Door County, Wisconsin, USA. This area is part of the Niagara Escarpment and trilobite fossils are pretty rare in this area (although I'm sure they were here). I work at a local museum and I'm trying to put together a comprehensive list of confirmed silurian fauna specimens actually found in the county. Thanks in advance for your help! Joe Taylor

Got these for not very much at an online estate sale most money went to charity so thought I'd gamble. Three questions What are these? Can I prep anything out? Should I try and carefully split any of these rocks? Each photo has at least one picture of the whole rock and then zoomed in of interesting looking things

I went out today and found some cryptolithus cheeks (my first), which was my goal, and I am stoked about. While looking at them at home I noticed that one of them has what appears a glabella. I am new to all of this, but could this possibly be a full trilobite in matrix? Some photos of the finds.

Well, after a year of searching, I finally found my first trilobite! They are relatively rare in my area (KC), so I’m pretty ecstatic. Decided to take this prep nice and slow, here’s the bug how I found it: Rock is thankfully not really sticky, was able to spend 40 min on this yesterday: As you can see in the last photo, I used my chisel tip to scribe excess material from above where the head might be. I took it down as far as I was brave enough to do so, because I’m worried that the head might be curved upward. I’m no trilobite expert, so any premature guesses on the species? Update possibly coming tonight. Have a great weekend everyone! -Jay

Purchased these two little friends in Alnif and unfortunately I can't find the information about them (species, locale). I think I remember the black one from the Ordovician or Devonian, and possibly the other from the Fezouata Formation. Perhaps someone here will know more. I know the black one was prepped personally by the seller in Alnif and I think he did the other as well. I'm going to keep looking as I was sure I recorded the info somewhere.
