Hello everyone!
So a while ago I collected a couple of rocks while fishing up near Plattsburgh, NY. These rocks were from the Ordovician Trenton Group and contained a variety of organisms including inarticulate brachiopods and corals. More importantly though, were the variety of trilobites. In one of the rocks I found pieces of Isotelus, Cryptolithus, and Ceraurus.
I was looking at a small piece of that rock yesterday when I noticed a strange little fossil. It was a tiny, spiny free cheek of a trilobite! It looks very similar to Meadowtownella trentonensis although it could be a different species. I do apologize if the pics aren’t great but the fossil is so small that I had to use my microscope to see any detail lol. Also, how do I get my images to be not turned sideways?
Thanks for looking!
Owen
