Osteodontokeratic Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi, These were long lost fossils that I happened upon the other day. I collected them in 1981 somewhere north of Atlanta in Georgia. At the time, I thought they might be Trilobites from the Cambrian, but now am now I have no idea what they are or even if they are from the Cambrian. Sorry, I can't give a more definitive location, formation or time period. The rock is very soft, almost chalk-like. As I recall, they were in talus from outside a quarry. Any I.D. will be gratefully appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMP Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It looks like molt fragments from ptychoparid trilobites, probably from the Cambrian aged Conasauga Formation. Pretty cool find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osteodontokeratic Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Thank you.so much. I've fretted off and on about what had happened to them, so was extremely happy to finally locate them, lo these many decades later! It is very nice to have an I.D. I wish I could remember exactly where they were found, but that memory is long lost. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
