RandyB Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As found, both Leon Theissen and I thought it looked perfect... What started out promising, alas was not to be. Tail spine - check, thorax points - check, caphalon - MIA 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 What a shame. Are you planning to finish the prep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyB Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 yes, the rest of it seems to be pristine. Just disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Understandable. Not sure how you feel about it but if you can find one the right size it's probably possible to composite a cephalon into the piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyB Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 i probably have one, I brought home a lot of material from Theissen quarry including many huntonia pieces, but it would bug me. Hopefully there is a complete one in the pile so I won't have to think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 @RandyB are you positive that it is not tucked way under. Some of the trilos from my area appear to be headless but the heads are sometimes tucked under to the point they are flattened. Just saying. 4 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

RandyB Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 I will look further, but the hole at the neck is deeper than it looks in the photo and I'm not seeing any signs. Initially had the same thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjfriend Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 So sad, that is a beautiful bug (if it hurts too much to look at I could hide it in my collection ). But as @Darktooth said, I too have trilos with the head folded completely under. Looked headless until some matrix popped off under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
