Preparations Of Two Vermont Trilobites Collected On Ice


Cluros

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I gave two field trip reports on a collecting trip I did on frozen Lake Champlain on the last two days of February. The first day stayed below 10 degrees and the second day warmed up to the teens. Here are the first two trilobites that I prepped from that trip. They are also the third and fourth trilobites I have ever prepared. The second one was difficult because it broke in three pieces and it was covered in crinoid pieces and trilobite pleura.post-9139-0-99216900-1426899510_thumb.jpgpost-9139-0-70247300-1426899554_thumb.jpgI have several more to do but my microscope lamp died and I am waiting for a replacement bulb.
