Sinopaleus Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) I don't have any, but I am absolutely fascinated by these survivors! If you have any, you can post them here! Best SP Edited September 9, 2012 by Sinopaleus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trilobiteruss Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) While I have over 50 different species myself, only a few are photographed, need to do more and that is planned as I work on cataloging collection a task that is not happening soon! :blink: Australosutura, lower Mississippian Lodgepole Limestone, Idaho/Montana Border: NOTE : I had to change ID and info on the two Russian bugs below, have info as best known on what is actually poorly described Russian Carboniferous material which needs more work. Maybe another retirement project for me Paladin transilis Weber 1933 (by some) NOTE: Also called Ditomopyge productus Late Carboniferous, Moscovian stage, Myachkovian horizon Wesphalian D ( Middle Pennsylvanian) Moscow region, the village Rusavkino, Russia One of my favorites is this multiple slab of Paladin transilis Paladin transilis Weber 1933 (by most) NOTE: Also called Ditomopyge productus so there needs to be more research on these: Late Carboniferous, Moscovian stage, Myachkovian horizon Zhirnovsk, Volgograd region., Russia From one of the old quarries One of my several New Mexico Mississippian trilobites Lake Valley Formation, Lower Mississippian, Alamagordo, NM And now filling this post are a few images of two of three best Ameura missouriensis Herta Ls. Bronson Group, Missourian Upper Pennsylvanian Schildberg Quarry Crescent, Iowa Edited November 26, 2012 by trilobiteruss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trilobiteruss Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Ok what other ones are photographed, let me see: Tail end of last Ameura missouriensis: Another A. missouriensis, with interesting middle and tail resting in the head also same as last ones: Head side not as nice as other two but here is cephalon for the this last one. A nice multiple slab of enrolled Webrides sp., Carboniferous, Namurian Stage, Weardale Co Durham UK Hesslerides (Griffithides) bufo, Mississippian, Edwardsville Fm, Crawfordsville, Indiana Paladin morrowensis, Graford Formation, Pennsylvanian Bridgeport Texas That is about it for images I have taken of my Carboniferous and Permian bugs, I have lots more specimens but time and camera to get good images (some were taken by others with better cameras than me) But at least maybe this starts this thread...

Missourian Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 All trilobites are from the Kansas City metro.... Ameura missouriensis Winterset Limestone: Ameura missouriensis Winterset Limestone: Ameura missouriensis Westerville Limestone: Ameura missouriensis Westerville Limestone: Ameura missouriensis Cement City Limestone: Ditomopyge sp. Raytown Limestone?: Complete trilobites are really difficult to find around here. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinopaleus Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wow. Amazing trilobites everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Jim Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 These are really fantastic. I am surrounded by Mississippian shale and after 35 years of looking finally found my first complete Paladin about 6 months ago. I was so excited. Lots of heads and tales over the years. These are just terrific... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 And now filling this post are a few images of two of three best Ameura missouriensis Herta Ls. Bronson Group, Missourian Upper Pennsylvanian Schildberg Quarry Crescent, Iowa Wow. The Hertha Limestone is much better in Iowa than in Missouri. Context is critical.

trilobiteruss Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 At least it is in this quarry Missourian. I do not know if it is like that all over Iowa, this is from a zone in a quarry that I am not sure is even there any longer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannoraptor Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) I believe these two pygidia belong to the species Pseudophillipsia rakoveci. They are the first and to this day the only trilobite fossils I found (found them in the Karavanke Alps, Slovenian side, back in 2000). They're not as beautiful as some of the fantastic specimens in this thread, but since they are from upper Carboniferus (I think) they belong here.
