Collection of Trilobites


Koopyetz

Recommended Posts

Some trilobites found West of Canandaigua lake . The one in lower right corner looks different than other three. Maybe greenops.

Possibly Greenops, but looking at the squareness of the glabella I think it might be Bellacartwrightia. Just my opinion though. Cool finds and neat little collection either way :)

A picture of the other side of the suspected Greenops might help.

Thanks for the additional photo.

I would call this a Greenops sp. There is at least one undescribed Greenops from the Central/Western New York Middle Devonian.

I agree with Greenops, the pygidial spines are too short to be a bella

Looks like Moscow stuff. I’d again agree with greenops. The spines are definitely to short. Also the second furrow is not defined enough for it to be a bellacartwrightia. If you can look closely for pores on the plurae you should find one row of them. On a bellacartwrightia would have 2. If you can tell me the exact layer you found it in I can probably give you an exact species
