Trilobite ID help

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.  Can anyone tell me what type of Trilobite this is?  All I know about this fossil is it came from New York in a batch of unprepped fossils.

Sometimes, it can take anywhere from 2 days to 3 weeks, to get an ID. Sometimes, never.  :shrug:

Your mileage may vary. Some patience is required.  ;)

The large tubercles match well with: Glyptambon verrucosus (Hall 1864)

 

The genus was established in this paper:

Holloway, D.J. 1981. Silurian Dalmanitacean Trilobites from North America and the Origins of the Dalmanitinae and Synphoriinae. Palaeontology, 24(4):695-731  PDF LINK
