GaleDiakuw Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Was about to throw away this piece of slate that I was using in my rock garden. I noticed what looks like an "8" see attached picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howard_l Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would want a much closer view but I think you have a Cambrian age trilobite there, I will try to look up the type. Hopefully others who know more about that time period will comment. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_l Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I like a closer look but it looks like a Cambrian age Trilobite. I will try to look up an example for you. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_l Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I thought the one post got lost, anyway I think it is Ptychagnostus, which is a Cambrian trilobite, I am no expert on those so others may have input. I have enclosed an example I found on the internet. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaleDiakuw Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Trilobite was the first thing that came to mind - the size is what confused me. I did do some googling and I think I'll go with this until someone gives me something else to hang my hat on :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_l Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Those type of trilobites are very small so the size shouldn't be a problem. The detail of the "trilobite" is the major thing. But I am with you, go with it until someone has a better idea. Howard_L http://triloman.wix.com/kentucky-fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimB88 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It could be an agnostid trilobite, but with no details its hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
