It's an old and rare book Scott (@piranha) recommended to me almost 8 years ago It's called the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology Part O. Trilobitomorpha, published in 1959. Quite a mouthful, but it's an incredible resource for trilobite identification and reference! 11 hours ago, caldigger said: I love it when the drawing and the fossil in hand actually look the same!

Sinopaleus Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Pushing back the oldest fossil in my collection by 1.2 BILLION years. Considered to be the oldest macroscopic body fossils known, and is considered by many to be one of the oldest eukaryotes in prehistory. Quite surprised I was able to stumble across such a fine specimen of this incredibly rare Precambrian gem! Grypania spiralis Proterozoic Eon (Paleoproterozoic, Orosirian, 1.87-2.1 bya) Negaunee Formation, Michigan, Illinois, U.S.A 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
