Ruger9a Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Good morning folks. I have just received a Trilobite from the Silurian Period of Kankakee, Illinois. It has not been identified by the seller and I'm wondering if someone here might know what species this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruger9a Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Sorry, I forgot to put the ruler in the pics. It's 50mm x 35mm - just the cephalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilcrazy Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 The Cephalon looks like it would belong to a Dalmanites, or Odontochile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I agree with dalmanitid, but I'll need to check my sources later on today to suss out which one. I know there was a newly erected genus (Glyptambon) in that area. I'm not saying it is that one, or Dalmanites, but we can keep those possibilities open for now. 2 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be checking on and off today (company coming) to see if your research provides anything different. 1 hour ago, fossilcrazy said: The Cephalon looks like it would belong to a Dalmanites, or Odontochile.
