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.

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.

From the album: Pennsylvanian fossils

Hopped out after work to look around and found this flexicalymene. When I first spotted it, it was partially covered by dirt. First thought was a partial prone, but was hoping for it to be full. I actually chuckled when I picked it up to examine it. This poor guy was smashed flatter than a pancake. It is a full roller, but it's rolling days have been long gone! Hahaha! Have any of you guys found any like this?

On Saturday I met back up with Kaden and went to look around. Turned out to be the worst day I have had fossil hunting in awhile, I was skunked. Kaden jokingly told me that my luck had ran out. After 3 or 4 hours we both parted ways, I headed home and he made a quick stop elsewhere. I believe he ended up with 2 or 3 trilobites and other various things. The next day I woke up early and hadn't planned going after fossils as it was very cold and windy. It didn't take long and I grew bored and heard the fossils calling my name. I bundled up and headed out. I am glad I did. It turned out to be the best day so far for me. I ended up with 11 full trilobites ( a couple slightly damaged) including a prone. A couple other damaged prones were further damaged between finding and getting them home.

As I was going through stuff finding some of the trilobites, I found the one with a healed injury (was from post before). I thought was really cool, with a nice different look to them and been looking out for anymore. Then I was trying to learn bits more and saw a molting picture and was wanting to see if the one I found is what most would think of as a molting from one trilobite? Thinking it would be nice to have a piece that count as a molting from trilobite. Can be hard to tell with parts and pieces all over in spots.

I had a shale piece split that has 2 trilobites in it close by, 1 about 1 1/2in. and other just under 2in. Both are missing cheeks and I haven't tried cleaning them up yet. Shale is about 8 1/2in. long and 4in. in wide in widest part. Shale is about 1 to 1 1/2in. thick in different spots. The question would be with the shale still being thick and having cracks all over, would most try to split it more? Or should try glue cracks on sides and try save it as 1 piece. If as 1 piece only got starbond glue and elmer's glue. (Top with trilobites) (top closer) (bottom) (side 1) (side 2) (side 3)

I gained interest in this way late in life but can't get enough of it! Thanks to the books that members have suggested, many videos that I have watched, and all the knowledge this forum and it's members provide I have learned a bunch, and want to thank everyone that has taken time to help me . Not long ago I was in search for my first trilobite, and while cleaning things out I was shocked at what I saw. Here are some of the flexis that I have gathered since joining this site. It blows my mind! I have met a couple members so far, and hope to meet more in the future. You guys are amazing! Thanks you all!

I'm pretty certain that this is a cambrian Harpetid, but am not entirely sure. It's listed as a Palaeoharpes primigenius from the Sandu Formation.
