I don’t really collect trilobites but this quite rare trilobite. I found it about 20years ago. Salterolithus caractaci, Ordovician age… Wales uk

One of my favorites I have. Lochovella Deckeri, Haragan Formation, Clarita OK, Devonian. Pushing a little over 2.5 inches, and I love all the pustules that cover it.

I wonder why I didn't come across this topic before. A lot of beautifel specimens.

 

My favourite is this one. Two Ceratarges armatus and one Ceratarges ziregensis .  Found in Jbel Zerg, Morocco. The favourite piece in my collection.

That must have been a real pleasure to find this.

Do you have measurements on any of them? It would be interesting to know for me at least. I always thought this species looked like an alien, haha.

Very nice. The top one looks like it has had little to no resto on it. Do you know if that's accurate? I could be wrong, but it's awful nice to see a russian trilo looking not perfect for once.

Wow very nice plate you have there. The picture makes them seem a little smaller. :envy:

Another Oklahoma trilo, one of my favorite overall. Ketternaspis Williamsi, Haragan Formation, Clarita OK, Devonian. About 1.05 inches in length. This is the bug that bite me, which started my addiction (collection).

I think it had suffered from the extraction and had no restoration, except, maybe some glue.

Haven't added a nice trilo to my collection for some time, so I treated myself last week to a nice Meadowtownella Crosotus from the Kope Formation of Hamilton Co, Ohio. I love the Lichid and Odontopleurid trilobites, so I was pretty happy to pick up this rare little 7-8mm bug for my collection.

Nice little bug. It would have its place in the fossil of the month contest.
