DH567 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 A friend of mine has this trilo and I was trying to identify it. Can you help? Sorry for the less than perfect pictures. I hope to have better ones soon. The specimen is about 2 inches (5 cm) long. I notice that the lobes are not outstanding, but do appear faintly on the pygidium. I am not sure where it was found. His grandfather lived and collected in "upstate New York." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Don in Ft.

If I don't do that once in a while, I might just turn into a fossil, you know!" Norman Rockwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The genus also has widespread distribution throughout Europe and South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
