siteseer Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 That must be the one on display (or at least a cast of it) at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville with a piece of Cretaceous turtle shell (also a unique drill core find). Otherwise, the oldest fossils found as surface finds are Late Eocene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For good measure I attached a photo of the trilobite in post number 5. It would be understandable if the thread was many pages.
