Well I went out today looking for trillo's but had no luck. I brought home a chunk of fossil Matrix that I thought I could pick apart and maybe just maybe uncover one. Chances are, there is no chance. I did find a beautiful clean brachiopod nestled inside the matrix I found chunk of matrix with a calsite crystal deposite in it but it was high on a hill that was precarious at best and if I lost my footing?.... well lets just say "it wouldn't be a good look". So I visually mapped my path and went for it. It was bigger then I thought but I was able to break off the bit I wanted. I saw more even higher but It wasn't worth the risk.][ I walked further down and found two huge slabbs that had fallen from the very top of the strata. I was able to examine them and was surprized how the thin layers were and that they did'nt shatter in the fall, With very little effort I was able to pull away the wafers, exposing the fossil hash full of brachiopods, bryozoa and such. I'll have to take better pics of some my finds. I used my phone and a magnifying glass this time.
