Greg.Wood Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I try to find my own rather than buy fossils but I had to have this one..... An enrolled Flexicalymene from a local quarry in Ontario that was too nice to pass up. Roughly 0.75" across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a scientific name for the shell of a trilobite? Exoskeleton 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’?
