These are more trilobite segments, and one cephalon, from the Leighton Formation, Maine, silurian. I believe them to be the new species of Calymene trilobite that I found earlier, but am unsure. The first pictures are of the first specimen, numbers 1 and 2 being of the cephalon, and the third of a thorax segment that was underneath the cephalon (you can see the edges of it in picture 2):

The next pictures are of new specimens. Number one and two are of a cephalon. Unfortunately, I was unaware of its existence until after it came out in multiple pieces. It is about 1 cm by 1cm. Here are the pictures:

Second are two different specimens. Number one is 11 mm by 5 mm, and number 2 is 6 mm by 3 mm. Here are the pictures:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure you can identify individual thoracic segments.  :unsure:
