piranha Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 12 hours ago, Mediospirifer said: Is this another recent reclassification? We bought it a year or two ago, and our "Trilobites of New York" book (Whiteley, Kloc and Brett, copyright 2002) lists both Basidechenella and Pseudodechenella as species found in New York. Our specimen was found in the Hamburg, NY area. The original classification and reassignment of Basidechenella to Pseudodechenella in North America is from Pillet 1972. In the book "Trilobites of New York" this is an oversight and a topic of confusion. The book acknowledges Pillet 1972 on page 157 but also contradicts this by listing B. clara / B. canaliculata / B. hesionea in Table 5.8 (Proetids of New York).

Top Trilo Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Also a quick map, all the states in red have at least one fossil shown for them, and the ones in green are completely unrepresented so far. 2 “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.

Rock Hound Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) I have tried to hold back, and allow others to post fossils from Mississippi; since many of mine, are in poor condition. The shark teeth coming out of the creeks and rivers in north Mississippi, tend to be in better condition; than these recent surface finds of mine. But, these are fossils from Mississippi.
