DLowe69 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Note: This is a follow-up post to my original post of about a week ago. I found this trilobite fossil near Eganville, Ontario, Canada. When I first picked it up, I thought it was broken but then I noticed that it was just slightly rolled and the pygidium was curved downwards. I have already posted a couple of pics of this Isotelus as found, but now that I have had it prepped (thank you Malcolm), it looks even better so I thought I would share. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLowe69 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Wait until you all see this guy's big brother... It has been prepped and is on its way back to me now, so once I take some decent pics with a ruler in the pic, I will post everything here. Big brother is MUCH larger than the one pictured here, even though the total length of this guy is about 4 1/2 inches long in total (if fully prone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Very nice, and great prep by one of our master preppers @Malcolmt ! (shhh... don’t tell him I said that. Wouldn’t want it or go to his head! ) The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't. -Bill Nye (The Science Guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
