Rocky Stoner Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hi folks, This looks like a Greenops pygidium but has slightly different spikes than images searched for ref. This was in my typical dig area. Devonian, mahantango, eastern WV. It is quite fragile and was very difficult to expose without totally destroying it. Can you verify / determine the species ? Thanks ! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The long slender pygidial spines belong to: Bellacartwrightia sp. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Stoner Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hey THANKS Piranha ! That makes 1 cephalon and 1 pygidium of the Bellacartwrightia found here so far. If only my first complete trilobite would be one of these. That would be cool ! Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
