Darktooth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 What is the size of this trilobite? I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have a couple issues with this specimen. First off the matrix has a "Marble " like appearence. Which is the wrong type of matrix for fossils. Secondly the two tone trilo, looks like an attempt at a fabrication that stopped half way through. I will not that I am by no means an expert. I am only going by what I see in you pic. I could very well be wrong. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Prionocheilus sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediterranic Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 The two colors is not an issue. Its very common. No locality info, it came in a lot of hundreds of pieces several years ago and I couldn't take notes on all of them in my field notebook. And it was not dug per me or my co-workers. Dimensions: see scale in attachment The "marble" kind of matrix is also usual. My Academia.edu profile - My About Me page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediterranic Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 @piranha, researching during days I thought of Prionocheilus sp. As I am not used to them, I had not sure at all. Per your experience, where could this one came from? Thanks a lot for your help My Academia.edu profile - My About Me page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediterranic Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Probably it came from Lower Ktaoua as many others then. Not sure. Anyway a good rare specimen. We don't see it every day. Is there a way to change the post tags a posteriori to add "Prionocheilus" and "Ordovician"?
