piranha Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Today I received a classic Texas trilobite from TFF member Kris (Ptychodus04). After assisting Kris with some research materials, he graciously offered to send me some Texas fossils. I mentioned I had some enrolled Texas trilobites, but would like an outstretched specimen if he ever came across a duplicate. I was happily surprised that he did have an extra one, and very delighted to add this spectacular trilobite to my collection. Thanks again for this generous gift!
