Northern Sharks Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Some of us love that sea stuff Grampa, keep posting. Your trilobite is not Nanillaenus, but looks more like a Triarthrus (T. spinosus) I believe There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleecan Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) I am also in agreement with Northern Sharks that the trilobite cranidia is Triarthrus similar to those found at Bowmanville ON in the Collingwood Shale. Did you find the trilos in a quarry at Carp ON, or by the road side at Carp ON? Enjoyed your postings.

Nicholas Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can someone explain the feeding trail to me? I've never heard of them before, are they associated with bugs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can someone explain the feeding trail to me? I've never heard of them before, are they associated with bugs? An ichno like that which terminates with a trilobite is the holy grail of bug hunters!

Dicranurus Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Your trilobite is not Nanillaenus, but looks more like a Triarthrus (T. spinosus) I believe yep, It is Triarthus' cephalon.

barefootgirl Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Like your bug there Grampa.

pleecan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I found out the name is Triarthrus eatoni That great Grampa Dino.... Checked my Trilobites of Ontario Book Part 1 and I Agree.. that is the more correct descriptor . Keep posting Canadian Trilo pic neat to look at...

Northern Sharks Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 There looks to be a spine coming from the middle of the cephalon, which is why I suggested Triarthrus spinosus. T.eatoni doesn't have such a spine There's no limit to what you can accomplish when you're supposed to be doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleecan Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 This forum is a fun place to learn about fossils and if we get a few names wrong... that is okay too as I am sure readers will point it out and correct it and we all learn as a result.
