Darktooth Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Here is a pic of a favorite Trilobite in my collection. It is not the best I ever found, But is the best I currently still own. It is a Greenops. And it is the first nearly complete one I have. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is actually from Deep springs Road. I found this on one of the hunts after I met you and the other Tff members there. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Innocentx Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I have too many favorites, but you might like this ventral? view of trilobite Ameura on flint crust. Found pretty much at the end Pennsylvanian/beginning Permian. Not great focus on the magnified ones, but an interesting connective detail where the pygidium joins the central axis.

GeschWhat Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 These spiral coprolites are all from the Ozan Fm (Taylor Marl) and were found along the North and South Sulphur Rivers in Texas. Wishing everyone here on the forum a fossil-filled holiday season. May your only crappy days be those filled with coprolites!

DeepTimeIsotopes Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Although this piece isn't very photogenic or rare or exceptional in any way, it does hold a special place in my heart. While digging for trilobites in western Utah with Ynot in August, my father came across a very sad and weathered trilobite who had gone through several freeze-thaw cycles. He called me over to look at it and he popped the upper layer off the little guy exposing all of his cracks. Even though many people would chalk this one up as a loss and would go on digging for better, I decided I wanted to try my hand at putting the pieces back together and reassemble the 500 million year old organism. Carefully, we placed all 20 or so pieces into a plastic sack and went on with the day. Later, I would find bigger and better looking ones. As soon as I arrived home, I unloaded all the best ones into the house and left the plastic sack and its contents in the garage. I had nearly forgotten about him until I stumbled across the crumpled sack of disarticulated pieces on the work bench later the next week. Earlier that day I had been very anxious with the coming school year. I had a couple spare hours to burn and it definitely wasn't going to be very productive if I spent it worrying about school. I picked up the sack and poured out the contents and set to work. This was my first time glueing a trilobite back together this extensively. But piece by piece I soldiered on. Four hours later, I emerged from the garage with the specimen pictured. My mood had changed significantly and my outlook on the next several months changed to much more positive. Working on this little guy reminded me why I was going to school and what one of my biggest goals is and that is to study fossils the rest of my life. So no matter how many pieces I was broken into, I could find a way to put it all back together piece by piece.
