I have only seen individuals of these in museums, not a plate of eight of them! Truly an amazing find, and a well deserved FOTM win.

Congrats for these incredible trilos. We see them only too rarely presented like this. Bravo for your discovery and the work of preparation.

behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Thank you everyone for all the kind words. I’m super humbled by the kindness of everyone on this forum. This is definitely my most rare and spectacular find. It was rainy and cold all day in the field when I found that. I was shivering by the end of the day and soooo ready to leave ha. It was definitely worth it! I’m currently on an absolutely epic fossil collecting trip in Utah. The Cambrian was a wild time! 
 

thanks everyone :rolleyes:
