Two dotted objects

[Miocene_Mason]

Two more weird things from @Rocky Stoner's rocks (thanks again to you). Middle Devonian, mahantango formation. Weird bulb with dots  popping out the top, and another perforated shiny thing. Positive and negative shown.

First one is an Eldredgeops eye. 

 

 

 

The second one looks like an imprint of a spiny brachiopod.

Doth thy eyes deceive me? Could it be the trilobite I have longèd for? Would there be anything to gain from  looking under the matrix to see if there is more of the trilo underneath?

[Fossildude19]

There might be more of the cephalon under there, but I would wager that it's just the cephalon.

Well that's enough for me! I lost my scribe though, gonna have to find another devise...

thanks for the ID, and the other one to.

Congrats on the trilobite eye!  Nice fossil!

I managed to knock off some matrix (and sadly because am my inexperiencedness, the eye, but should glue back on easy) and I found this, is this all cephalon?

[Miocene_Mason]

Here it is again with the eye is place (soon to be glued back)

[Miocene_Mason]

Glued back, should set in thirty minutes. A little bit of excess glue, but should be fine.

I have been chipping away at this and I'm at this point, is this an emerging trilo?

[Fossildude19]

Looks like you may have chipped off his glabella.

That's a shame I'm at the mercy of the bedding. Where the eye should be there was a tiny Gastropoda and to other texture, however when that was removed, there was a little texture on the negative. Any ideas what these structures are? Encircled below:

Too fragmentary for me to tell, but I would guess brachiopod or bryozoan.

I was hoping it was the rest of the trilo, wishful thinking. Thanks for your help!

That has to be a great experience, - finding an eye looking back at you!
