Collection of trilobites I've found

[Alexthefossilfinder]

Here are some of the most intact trilobite fragments I've collected from breaking apart shale. 

Pic 1 is very well preserved though I do wish there could have been more of it.

 

Pic 2 may have some of the best 3-D nature to it, especially where you can see both sides.

 

Pic 3 looks really awesome in my opinion, but what really sells this one for me is what I suspect to be a horseshoe crab in the bottom middle, though additional input is much appreciated.

Pic 4 is the first one I found from shale.

 

Pic 5 is the first trilobite I ever found on my first fossil hunting expedition in the summer so it really holds a special place in my heart. It is just one part of a large rock that has a lot of stuff in it from crinoid stems to brachiopods, I could honestly make a whole post just about that one rock.

 

And there are some of my best finds from shale! I only started finding it on my last expedition before it got too cold, but I'm already anxiously waiting for it to get warm again so I can hopefully find more, I still have fingers crossed I'll find a full trilobite!

There are no known horseshoe crabs in the Ordovician rocks of Ontario. The trilobite fragments belong to Triarthrus sp. You're welcome.

Nice Triarthrus sp  trilo-bits.

The last one looks like a brachiopod to me, though.

I tried taking another picture but it's really hard to get detail because it's so small. But I think it's a trilobite because your can see the head along the top. It looks to me like the right side was destroyed over time.

Brachiopod.
