A few french trilos preped during the summer 2018

During the summer i found  time to empty a bit crates from the recent trilo hunts. Here come some of those recent prep.

 

The samples come from 2 different sites which are only a few kilometers away one from the other.

More or less orange ones from one place, black ones from the other.

 

To start with, the emblematic Neseuretus tristani, most common trilos in our area.

Those are second grade samples, but still, here they  are :

Next, a few Ectillaenus giganteus, pretty common in one of the site, more elusive in the other.

Specimen shown here are pretty good for us.

 

First of all, a nice rolled up one.

Yes, I love these stretched trilobites too! :)

Thanks for sharing. 

You're hoping for a stretched brach thread. ;)

At first glance I thought these were from the state of Washington.  Now I see differently.  Very cool for some 'stretchers'.

No way, those things ACTUALLY look like that?!? That's amazing!!! I was just wondering why the pictures got messed up lol. I never would have imagined....! Incredible!

 

can anyone explain how this happens? Why they don't just break apart???

See what I said in Your "bent fossil" thread.

Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."
