Trilobite pygidia, 2 in same split

This is #8 and #9.

Both were in the same split of shale.

The larger one was barely visible, just 1/2 of the fwd center ridge. Took quite a bit of digging to expose it.

I was pretty sure what it was, getting used to the little clues.

Thanks again !

Thanks guys.

I'm anxious to get back and turn a new strip of the "mud". A complete one would be a real treat.  

Right now I am on the NC coast below Wilmington for a few more days.

Much younger formation here. Not much time to research, will visit a museum and keep my eyes open on the beach.

Some HUGE megalodon fangs have been found just north of here after storms.

Anyone have a hint as to what to look for ? and where?

Regards.

Where did you land those pygidiums?

Eastern panhandle of  West Virginia.

Mahandango, Marcellis, Oriskany mix, as best I can tell.

 

Thanks.
