Pushing a little over 2.5 inches, and I love all the pustules that cover it. You're right to love it, it's wonderful ! "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

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

It would be interesting to know for me at least. I always thought this species looked like an alien, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Jackson g Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 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). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it had suffered from the extraction and had no restoration, except, maybe some glue. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Jackson g Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
