Hi all!

I would really appreciate some help identifying these trilobites. Early Cambrian, Eager Formation, near Cranbrook, BC. 

Cheers, 

Marc

Agreed, there's probably some Olenellus in there.

Agreed. Look like our lower cambrian olenellus here in California. Lots of different species, and some are very hard to tell apart. Nice bugs!

Also here, cephalons are far more prevalent  than complete specimens.

A friend told me that 8. was a Wanneria, 4. was a Olenellus and 1. was a Mesonacis. Does this check out?

For your quality and accuracy, I could never be impatient. 

What are the two trilobite species in the comparison images?
