Ontic Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Hi, first time poster. I found this fossil at my granddads house when I was ~5. Recently came across it while cleaning. Could someone ID the species for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It looks like a tiny crab. Where is it from?

Mattalic Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 At first I thought it was a piece of a Trilobite - but I'll let the heavies chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 At first I thought it was a piece of a Trilobite - but I'll let the heavies chime in. That's a better possibility, given the location.

Fossildude19 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I thought trilobite as well - possibly a piece of Triarthrus sp. Maybe a pygidium, or piece of thorax, and possibly ventrally preserved. Maybe Scott can clear this one up.
