GordonC Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Lower Devonian Trilobite These specimens from a chert bed in the Kalkberg Formation Hannacroix Member near Port Jervis, NY. This ~1” thick bed accumulated brachiopods and the occasional gastropod; parts of Paciphacops sp. are also present. Pictured specimens were recently collected by the neighbor's grandsons. The partial cephalon has a fairly well defined eye, which may permit distinguishing it as a P. hudsoniscus rather than P. Logani (see Trilobites of NY Fig.5.4). The cephalon is protruding from the bottom of the plate shown. Gordon (scale for cephalon blurred partial penny low rh ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Nice finds, kudos to the neighbors grandsons! Is it possible more of the trilo could be hiding in the matrix? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
