Akwvu Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi All, My wife and I have recently started visiting some of the Devonian Mahantango fossil collecting areas in central and northeast Pennsylvania. Yesterday we made a trip to Beltzville State Park to do some casual collecting. After a couple of hours of collecting I came across what may be the face and eyes of an unknown trilobite. This was chiseled from a much larger piece and almost went into the waste bin! Anyway, any help with a proper ID would be much appricated. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites

Kane Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This would very likely be an Eldredgeops rana, which is reported in the Mahantango. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
