Dewbunny Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Bought this lil guy today at the rock show. He's about 2 1/4 inch long. Still has a lot of its face covered. Anyone know his breed so I can narrow down his name and birthday and is it possible to clean him up any more than he is without harm. Kinda looks like a puppy,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmitchell887 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Very cool! That’s next on my list to search for. I have a feeling it takes a lot of breaking rocks to find something of that level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About two and a half hours to your West is wardensville, the site there has relatively common trilos, I didn’t have to end of breaking any rocks to find a few (only one full but it was a roller and the matrix there is to soft to prep much, also it was on a hash of trilo-bits) 16 hours ago, Dewbunny said: Nice!

A more detailed description is: Flexicalymene ouzregui DESTOMBES, 1966 - from the Upper Ordovician (Ashgill) of the Upper Ktaoua Formation, Maïder Region, Morocco. 1 Regards, Jason "Trilobites survived for a total of three hundred million years, almost the whole duration of the Palaeozoic era: who are we johnny-come-latelies to label them as either ‘primitive’ or ‘unsuccessful’? Men have so far survived half a per cent as long." - Richard Fortey, Trilobite: Eyewitness to Evolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
