Bev Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Ordovician Galena Formation: Stewartville or Prosser member Fillmore County, MN For Scale Rock Rock for scale Trilos for comparison: Raggedy Man and Laura are over here hunting this weekend and I was showing them this interesting rock I found with lots of crinoid stems and parts that I picked up a couple of days ago. Any idea on what species of trilo this is? Thanks for looking! The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

FossilDAWG Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 That looks like it would be worthwhile to put in the hands of a professional prepper. Everything seems to be there except for a bit of erosion on a few axial segments, and maybe the pygidial spines. It should be an exceptional specimen if properly prepped.

Any suggestions on preppers and prices? It also may not be affordable for me to have it prepped, any thoughts on where it should go if that is not an option? I'm not into holding onto things that I can't properly take care of, if you know what I mean. :-) The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

Bev Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 @ piranha Thanks! Do you know which species this is, by chance? The more I learn, I realize the less I know.

Bev Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 @piranha Raggedy Man does not know the species of this trilobite. Do you? :-) Thank you @ ynot for the tutorial on how to use this new tool on TFF. :-) 1 The more I learn, I realize the less I know.
