DavidA Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I recently rescued several trilobites from a dusty cardboard box at an estate sale. The orange trilobite was unlabeled and a little over 3.5 inches long. The tan colored trilobite is 1.25 inches long and was labeled as “Canada Trilobite”. I realize it isn’t much to go on, but was hoping someone could provide a little more information if at all possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 For the first one, compare with images of Hamatolenus vincenti. Although, I suspect the cephalon may be fabricated. For the second, compare with Elrathia kingii. It could possibly be a Cambrian trilobite from British Columbia, but I'm afraid my Cambrian trilobite knowledge is poor! 1 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The second may be a Hedinaspis canadensis from the McKay Group in the Bull River Valley BC area. I'm not 100% sure though. @newdog65 or @piranha would know for sure. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
