Peat Burns Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Welcome to the forum. The first 2 pictures are too blurry for me to see. The remaining photos appear to be the cephalon (head) of the trilobite Eldredgeops rana. Nice find. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I agree with peat burns with trilo cephalon. Nice find. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peat Burns Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Yes, that's a bit better. Those bits could be a lot of things (brachiopod bits, trilobite bits, etc.). Unfortunately, I can't discern enough detail to be sure. That's one I'd want to see under the dissecting scope or hand lens before venturing a guess.

Monica Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 On 4/29/2017 at 6:08 PM, jws51203 said: is this better Hi there! Do those conical-shaped fragments have segmentation present? Could they perhaps be Tentaculites sp. or something along that line? I just wanted to chime in because I visited Hungry Hollow (mid-Devonian) here in Ontario over the weekend, and I found a partial cephalon of an Eldredgeops rana as well as many Tentaculites sp. What is the age of the rocks, by the way? Monica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
