NoahW24 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all! Just wanted to share my little collection of trilobites and pals now that I have a small assortment. I hope you enjoy! I’m working up to actually getting out in the field soon, so hopefully a few finds of my own might join these fellers!

NoahW24 Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 I’m having a tough time finding literature on speculative lifestyles/feeding niches for trilobites in general, and how body shape may have influenced these patterns. I am always grateful for literature recommendations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to compile a little literature review on each species I encounter- piecing together what their habits and hobbies were really helps bring them to life!

Huntonia Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Great start for your collection! That Dalmanites especially is a great addition!

NoahW24 Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 A new pair of pals! Huntoniatonia oklahomae sharing some matrix with a Kainops. Looks to me like a 400,000,000 year old game of hide-and-seek! Loving the eye facet detail on the Huntonia and stuck in the idea of just how long these two have been together. Immensely fun to think about the amazing diversity at just one location. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahW24 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Some new additions to the scuttle: Greenops grabaui- This one has amazing detail on the genial spines and his schnoz- really looks alive! Here also we have a Flexicalymene meeki with some molts on matrix- I love how it looks like he’s burrowing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahW24 Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Odontocephalus aegeria: this feller has been through some stuff- survived the Pennsylvania acid treatment crisis mostly in tact… I really enjoy seeing the diversity in sand-scoops trilobites have, and Odontocephalus are pretty exciting as far as that goes. You can see where the double pygdial spines would have been without the radical pH disruption My Dalmanites lumurulus was complaining about being lonely, so after 400,000,000 years I scoped out a pal for company- And finally some glamour shots of my Hollardops because how can you not- Edited August 29, 2021 by NoahW24 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoahW24 Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 A few more for the album! Here we have some weird lookin bees I found out back, and my sweet boy Franklin trying to figure out what they are- A high quality Hollardops with lovely detail on the pygdial spines And a Modocia typicalis, with a great little tail and a beautiful red color. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Arcand Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Impressive! I want one, I want one Nothing to do with what I found, One fossil a day will keep you happy all day. Welcome to the FOSSIL ART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
