Fossildude19 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Probably not 100% without more preparation. But it is likely, considering that many trilobite fossils are molts, and the separation between the thorax and pygidium is significant. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Thanks for the help I just saw it was from Dudley and heard there hard to come by any trilobites from there so happy I got it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
