piranha Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 After a two year hiatus a fifth trilobite has recently been named in my honor. This time the Great German Trilobitologist: Ulrich Flick has bestowed Chotecops morrisoni upon yours truly. The holotype for C. morrisoni was discovered in the Devonian (lower Eifelian) Günterod Limestone of Günterod, Germany. In 1971 Professor Ivo Chlupáč established the new taxon Chotecops named for the type locality of the Chotec Limestone of the Czech Republic. Most fossil aficionados are familiar with Chotecops ferdinandi originating from the roofing tiles of the Hunsrück Slate: a classic trilobite that evokes images of golden pyritized specimens that collectively have preserved a complete record of their antennae and post-antennal limbs. I'm absolutely delighted to share this special 'high five' moment of this phenomenal new member of the Phacopinae with you all! Flick, U. 2021 Taxa der Phacopinae HAWLE & CORDA, 1847 (Trilobita) aus dem Grenzbereich Emsium/Eifelium sowie Unter-Eifelium Unter-/Mitteldevon) der Bicken-Ense-Decke (Rheinisches Schiefergebirge). [Taxa of the Phacopinae HAWLE & CORDA, 1847 (Trilobita) from the Emsian/Eifelian and Lower Eifelian Lower/Middle Devonian Boundary Area) of the Bicken-Ense-Decke (Rhenish Massif).] Geologisches Jahrbuch Hessen, 140:73-100 Chlupáč, I. 1971 New Phacopid Trilobites from the Devonian of Czechoslovakia.

Top Trilo Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Congrats Scott, this is definitely well deserved. Your extensive knowledge of trilobites always amazes me. “If fossils are not "boggling" your mind then you are simply not doing it right” -Ken (digit) "No fossil is garbage, it´s just not completely preserved” -Franz (FranzBernhard) "With hammer in hand, the open horizon of time, and dear friends by my side, what can we not accomplish together?" -Kane (Kane) "We are in a way conquering time, reuniting members of a long lost family" -Quincy (Opabinia Blues) "I loved reading the trip reports, I loved the sharing, I loved the educational aspect, I loved the humor. It felt like home. It still does" -Mike (Pagurus) “The best deal I ever got was getting accepted as a member on The Fossil Forum. Not only got an invaluable pool of knowledge, but gained a loving family as well.” -Doren (caldigger) "it really is nice, to visit the oasis that is TFF" -Tim (fossildude19) "Life's Good! -Adam (Tidgy's Dad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
