I could only dream of finding something like this, and Ben did a crazy good job of prepping it. I would not have dared to take that task on myself. That clan sure know their way around bugs! Kudos to everyone involved in this beauty! Jay, I have been meaning to contact you. Did you receive that partial Dolichoharpes reticulate in my shipment? The reason I ask, I found what I thought I shipped you underneath my work bench. If you did not receive a partial, I will mail it out. @DevonianDigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonianDigger Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I don't have that in my list, so I don't think so. You did send me a bunch of cool stuff though, so I'm not sweating it! Jay A.

minnbuckeye Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 @caldigger, when I found the trilobite, I assumed that was attached to it. I believe it was a spine of another species, cerarus. Pic from the internet, not mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The samples they had on their shelves waiting to prep were unbelievable. You could tell they were great at what they did. What a fantastic find and prep, but completely expected due to who you took it to for prepping. Those guys are incredible. I had the opportunity to visit this prep shop a few years back. It is truly an experience. Below is my "report" on the visit that I put on TFF. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/37083-trilobites-of-america/&tab=comments#comment-408758 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
