  1. I recently spent [price redacted) on this Drotops Armatus from an USA fossil dealer. But when I received it, I became very suspicious. First, I examined it clearly and there isn't any sign of cracking and glueing, which is pretty unusual based on my knowledge. Second, the color is just too brown. Seller claimed this specimen is from Altchana formation, but I never seen such color in any other Morocco trilobites. Third, there are around 10-20 tiny little holes (less than 0.5mm) on the bug surface, which looked very suspicious. Seller claimed these holes are caused by sand blaster. Can I trust this specimen? Very worried and want some advice! IMG_5745.HEIC IMG_5746.HEIC

    Mystery concretion

    Found this in Calgary Alberta, Royal Tyrell Museum has dated the plant and aquatic life on exterior to be 450- 500 million years old however, there is a clear vertebra in the core of the sample. Can someone advise please.
  3. Hey I'm new to the hobby and I am looking for new spots to hunt for fossils in the Eastern and Southern part of the state. As well as someone to go on trips with from the central Indiana area.
  4. Only two weeks ago, when i was out rock hunting on the south western coast of Norway, I found two rocks with fossils inside them. In Norway, fossils are only found in Oslo, Trondheim and on the northern part of Norway. The only fossils found in the west are in Ritlandskratere, an ancient meteor crater, four hours away from where i found mine. The fossils are some brachiopods and clams, a trilobite tail, a belemnite fragment and a belemnite phragmocone. There could maybe be some new species or sub species. I am waiting for the response of the Natural History Museum in Oslo. I will update on the response I get.
  5. Here is a few highlights from a brief stop at the old BLM trilobite quarry at the Wheeler Amphitheater. I was passing through the area for work and had to try my hand at the "defunct" site.
  6. I work at a rock shop at the moment, and I found this labeled as a fossil insect but to me it looked liked a trilobite. My coworker said the rock is probably from the Eocene which would rule out trilobites. Any idea of what it could be exactly? I have no idea where it was found exactly
  7. I need some reassurance about some trilobites I want to buy. I believe in my rookie eyes that they look alright but as people told me before in this forum I want also some opinions before I proceed as I am new.
  8. so just recently i was going on a trip to look for fossils, trilobites specifically. On the trip i was able to find plenty of goodies; brachiopods, bryozoa, etc… But i never found any trilobites—well, except a possible pygidium. I did my digging at Savanna, IL, which from what I could find was known for finding lots of trilobites; and complete ones at that. Was I doing something wrong on my trip? I guess what i’m asking is there some way to more easily find trilobite fossils? Like, is there a way to tell what areas are likely to have trilobite fossils or what rocks would have them? on a similar note i’ve seen plenty of instances of people splitting rocks and finding lots of fossils that way; but i found almost all of my fossils just sitting in the open; any time i tried splitting a rock it would just shatter into bits, not to mention i wouldn’t really find anything inside. Is there a way to tell which rocks might have a fossil of some sorts in it? Or a way to split a rock so that any fossil in it would be exposed. Or i guess the better question would be what kinds of rocks are even worth trying to split into, and does this change based on a given locality? any advice would really be appreciated!

    What is this ?

    Found on bank of rock river -near sterling Illinois. Seems to be in limestone matrix - can anyone help me Id ? Thanks !
  10. We got it today from someone who just came back from Morocco. It's 25" high x 30" wide and has I believe 7-9 specimens. The 2 large ones are both 13.5 inches each. I tried to get the clearest photos I could with my phone. I also used a UV light to check for resin and repairs but I'm pretty much a newbie. 1 photo of the back is with a flash. So, is it authentic?

    Paleozoic Finds

    Hello, I am hoping for some input regarding some recent rock finds in an area recently exposed after heavy rains & flooding. I will probably split them up over a couple of posts. Appreciate any help in understanding these rocks. Location: Vestavia Hills, AL Paleozoic (from Ordovician to Pennsylvanian) Rock 1: Object just left of center- Bivalve? Trilobite? Rock 1: dark areas are moss - creating a bit of an optical illusion in the photo. Rock 1: close up of area on top right of rock 1, Shiny brown with white outline with some type of inclusion. Rock 1: close up of brown shiny area with white outline on front side. Resin? Rock 2: Weathered Bivalve? Rock 2: Different viewRock 2Rock 2: Backside Rock 3: could this be part of a trilobite?Rock 3Rock 3Rock 1: sorry I can’t figure out how to move photo to the rest of the photo group

    Gerastos Trilobite?

    Hey all I picked up this trilobite really cheap from a seller I trust but I've seen him make mistakes before so I'll get the opinions from experts here! Is the ID correct? Can you spot any repairs? Under UV there is something at the back of the trilobite, I can also spot a crack in the matrix so it might be a splodge of glue. Based on the price I paid, I assume these are really common.... or did I find a diamond in the rough or the preservation just isn't as good as some others in this genus? Seller said Gerastos 360 million years old Morocco

    Kinzers trip

    I took my good friend @cameronsfossilcollection out the other week to my kinzers spot. Here’s some of are finds.
  14. Hi all, I went on my first fossil hunt today! Destination was the DSR quarry near Hamilton, NY. We had great fall weather and the leaves are really starting to turn. Here’s who we encountered:
  15. Hello everyone, I am relatively new to trilobite collecting, and I don't know where to get real trilobites. I am not very good at telling real from fake, so I'm avoiding online, Etsy, ect. Does anybody know where to buy real trilobites? Thanks

    Moroccan Trilobite ID

    This was the first fossil I ever bought, I wasn’t even in kindergarten. I didn’t know what a trilobite was at the time but thought it looked cool. The only info I have is that it’s from Morocco. My best guess is something in the family Calymenidae.
