paleo.nath Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I’ve recently bought these trilobites from the Chisholm shale in Nevada, and I was looking for an ID on the two of them. They are Cambrian in age, and more specifically from Lincoln County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBlooded Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Maybe Glossopleura packi? Didn’t do a super thorough search and I am not an expert, but that’s the name attached to similar looking trilobites being sold from the same area. Left is the cephalon, right is the pygidium?

Yes I believe the left is a cephalon and right is a pygidium. And now that I look Glossopleura Does look accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabRatKing Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I’d say Glossa, but given these are ventral sides, it will be hard to determine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
