Bob Saunders Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 Please note, this was purchased from an open counter display and I now feel that the card with it is incorrect. I also do not find a Trilobite on the other side. Nice under the microscope, and very low price. ID needed. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Moved to FOSSIL ID. I only see a trilobite here. The lace looking item is part of a Cryptolithus sp. cephalon. I don't see any graptolites here. 1 3 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Bob Saunders Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Thanks, do you mean more of the trilobite is just below the cast shadow? I found images of the Cryptolithus cephalon as an outer portion on one. Edited July 21, 2021 by Bob Saunders more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
