Nichet1122 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This trilobite is Dolerobasilicus yokusensis. It's the only trilobite found in South Korea, Jik-un Mountain Formation. It's really hard to find a completely preserved. Unfortunately, Most Korea's fossil sites are being destroyed, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and scarce... 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad but I would not expect too many fossil sites in such a small and heavily populated country to be accessible any more. Nice to have that fossil, considering!

Korea's fossils are becoming increasingly rare. Personally, I really want to get my country's dinosaur fossils, but most of fossil sites are not easy to access and dangerous. Worst of all, Rocks are really thick and hard... So sad... Edited July 17, 2021 by Nichet1122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I didn't know Korea had dinosaurs.. but again, it doesn't surprise me that they are hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two dinosaurs officially known in Korea. Koreanosaurus Boseongensis and Koreaceratops hwaseongensis. And other some fossils have been discovered. (Koreanosaurus - Thescelosauridae) (Koreaceratops - ceratopsia) (Big Therapod egg nest - perhaps big Oviraptorid) (Therapod tooth - Carcharodontosaurid or Megalosaurid) Edited July 19, 2021 by Nichet1122 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
