Raptor Lover Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was wondering if anyone has trilobites with the ventral side exposed as opposed to the common dorsal side "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you" Job 12:8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 I was wondering this the other day too! What it looks like under there.

piranha Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Here is a nice Russian Asaphus punctatus double from my collection, dorsal and ventral side by side. The ventral specimen also provides up close detail of the apodemes, the points of muscle attachment. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was just sitting there looking at my phacops (I think it's a phacops, I'm not certain though0 and I was thinking "What if they prepared the bottom of it? What doe the legs and the underside look like?" "Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you" Job 12:8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newdog65 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 here is an orymaspis trilobite moult I prepped ventrally. Chris N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Is that the real ventral or the ventral view of the dorsal? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Here is a ventral positioned Dolichoharpes reticulate that I found this summer. Pirranah provided the image next to it showing what the dorsal side would look like. Unfortunately, I am not ventrally prepping this one so this is as good of look underneath as I can give you.
