Isa trilobites. Since we are having fun tracing back the taxonomic history, here are portions of the original descriptions from Chapman 1929: BATHYURISCUS SAINT-SMITHII, sp. nov. Occurrence - This handsome species is by far the commonest trilobite in the Mount Isa Cambrian series. Twelve miles west of Mount Isa at the head of the Templeton River; collected by Messrs. Campbell Miles and E.C. Saint-Smith. Also the holotype by D. Smith, per E.H. Muir (presented to the Commonwealth Collection). Named in honour of Mr. E.C. Saint-Smith. MILESIA TEMPLETONENSIS, sp. nov. Occurrence - Preserved in sub-cherty shale of a whitish tint, iron-stained on joints and showing as a brown chert on a fractured surface. 12 miles west of Mount Isa, at the head of Templeton River, NW. Queensland (Queensland Geol. Survey Coll.). Chapman, F. (1929) On some trilobites and brachiopods from the Mount Isa district, north-western Queensland.

doushantuo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Very curious that 5.13 Mb is considered "a large file" Appreciate your sense of humour,that is one humongously bad scan Yes ,peeps,PDFs are very much like fossils: some are "good",some are "bad " People who can separate these two species,and spend an awful lot of time searching for the good ones,and subsequently post them on this forum get a huge amount of recognition and appreciation,thankfully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
