minnbuckeye Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I am down to my last few trilobites to label from this summer yet. Am open to suggestions on these less than perfect finds: 1. Found in the Galena/ Ordovician of Iowa. Isotelus? If so, is the species obvious? 2. Found in the Platteville formation/ Ordovician of SW Wisconsin. Flexi? 3. Another Galena/ Ordovician but from Minnesota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 First one is an Isotelus, but cant tell the species. The second one looks like a Flex, but again species I cant tell. The 3rd one looks like a Anataphrus borraeus. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them in a Demott and Slocom report. Theres two on my list. One is from the Maquoketa formation and the other is from the Platteville. I never even considered it as a possibility. I will have to sit down sometime soon and look at the morphology between the two. Piranha has one heck of an eye...lol. ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
