Rocky Stoner Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Beginning to recognize more of the minor details. A small portion of the eye was protruding from the surface a fresh split. A bit of scratching under the microscope revealed my favorite so far. I call it #7. OK, ...... I'm hooked ! Thanks again folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Stoner Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Thank you, thank you, thank you ! I thought I might have found #8. I first saw what looked like a brachiopod with a crinoid stem perfectly centered. I was contemplating a caption ... Dude, I was here first. Then I saw what looked like the the surface of another cephalon. I started scratching it out and now do not understand what it is, or where its going. It almost looks like a gastropod, but also looks like it may be a severely damaged trilobite. Can you recognize it and give me an idea as to where I should continue scratching ? or not? Thanks again. 2 more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again.. That looks like a cephalon next to a brach with a crinoid imprinted on it.
