I am fortunate enough to have such a huge amount of Middle Devonian Givetian material that I thought it best to put the older Middle Devonian stage, the Eifelian, in its own thread. There are some spectacular fossils here as well though! I thought a good place to start would be in the Formosa Reef, which I believe is quite early Eifelian. This tabulate coral and stromatoporoid reef continues similar complexes found from the Middle Silurian, see my: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/84678-adams-silurian/page/3/ thread from page three onwards for details. All these Formosa Reef specimens come from a delightful gift from my good friend @Monica who is a tad busy with life at the moment but is fine and still thinking of the forum. This outcrop can be found on Route 12 near Formosa/Amherstburg, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. This beautiful-looking specimen came to me with only a third of it revealed but I managed to get it this far after nine days of painful pin prepping. Monica found another one and posted it for ID here: https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/105528-weird-circular-imprints-formosa-reef-lower-devonian/#comment-1172285 The specimen was identified by another Canny Canadian @Kane to be the little stromatoporoid sponge Syringostroma cylindricum. Hardly a reef-builder, but gorgeous nonetheless. It does have a little thickness to it, but not much. Beautiful! Pretty thin, actually. I love this Monica, thank you!

One of my favorite orders of trilobites has always been the Harpetid trilobites. I find their unusual appearance fascinating and enjoy their rarity compared to the other trilobite orders. I would love to see your Harpetid trilobites as I don't see them frequently on the forum. Also, I have purchased a couple Harpetid trilobites over the years: Bohemoharpes bupthalmus A split Harpides sp. Eoharpes sp. Dubhglasina yunnanensis

From the album: Trilobites
The rarest harpetid in Ontario. Although fragmentary and in ventral position, still a worthy field find.-

Thoughts on this Harpes trilobite
xDiamondX posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Thoughts on this Harpes trilobite? looks good to me. matrix colour is different, split through a crack on the specimen. prep looks ok and eyes are nice and beady. Anything anyone else notices/wants to comment on? -
I recently received a scotoharpes trilobite from my grandmother for christmas, and was told by a kind member of this forum to share it with everyone! I'm fairly new to fossil collecting- I acquired my first fossil when I was 7 years old, a piece of horned coral, and built up a collection over the years, but the direction I want to take is trilobites! My favorites being the harpetids. Please share your harpes specimens or any other trilobite you are proud of!
