Well, I’m stumped. Can’t find anything like it in my references. Was found in KC area, likely Pennsylvanian. Thank you so much in advance everyone!

From an old collection we got this strange Trilobite. I think it was found and imported to Germany around 1980 - 1985. Should come from Yunnan-Province in China (I only know it comes from china, did some research in the net and think it is a Yunnan-one). Lenght is around 18 cm (7"). Has short spines at the end of the pleural segments. The cephalon has been badly prepared, surface is a bit destroyed but the rim fits. Pygidum looks rounded, but under a microscope I could see, the end is not prepped and under the surface. Will do the work on it next time... What do you think about the genus? Before I start the prep-work I love to know if it has spiny ends, Looks not easy to prep... thanks for comments!

Would you identify the first fossil a Spiny Softshell Turtle Shell Fossil, anyone? anyone? It came with some other North American east coast / Florida fossils. The second light colored one is labeled Snapper Turtle Shell. Any issues with this?

Spiny bivalve from Upper Triassic limestone at Aust Cliff, Gloucestershire, UK
Georyx posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, First time posting here so please forgive any dodgy formatting. I found this bivalve shell in the Upper Triassic limestone beds at Aust Cliff, Gloucestershire, UK. I posted this on Reddit and only one person managed to have a guess at a Ctenostreon bivalve genus, but they are not sure. The spines on the edge of the shell seem a bit too evenly-spaced out in my opinion. (By the way, the grooves surrounding the shell are from where I've engraved the fossil a little. I don't have the equipment to fully extract it, so I have no idea what the outside of the shell looks like). Thanks all - any help would be appreciated. - Georyx

Insane Brachiopod
JurassicParkCarnotaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all, I recently saw this very cool, but also very expensive fossil brachiopod. And well it may be a little out of my price range I would still like to know if it is legit. The seller states it is an undescribed brachiopod that has affinities to the genius Echinaurus. It is from a layer several meters above the Drotops couche at Mrakib, Morocco. This area is Middle Devonian. The seller states that it is about 3.33 inches wide and that the white mineral on the brachiopod itself is natural, not glue or anything like that.

I found these near Cape Coral in a stock pile of sediment that was going to be used for landscaping. Are they Arcinella cornuta, the spiny jewel box clam? See link here: https://neogeneatlas.net/species/arcinella-cornuta/. Thank you!

looking for a bivalve specialist (or anyone with air abrasive systems (: )
Notidanodon posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
hi guys i recently found this spiny jurassic bivalve, the matrix is very soft (i started prep with a in vise), but the spines are fairly delicate so i felt that wasnt the best method, is there anyone that would be willing to prep it, i can send more photos and the measurements are 11 x 12 x 8 cm, but i am on a low budget so a uk preparator would be favourable but if need be i can ship worldwide (also it has potentially both valves but not sure on that happy christmas will
