elcoincoin Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Hello there, Since the start of summer i had te opportunity to pay a few visit to 2 ordovician trilo sites. All in all, the hunts had been snarge good in both places. The faunas are about the same. I had a few days off work lately so i could spend some time cleaning them. To start with a few Colpocoryphe rouaulti from both sites : I hope you en joy those littel guys. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KimTexan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Very nice trilos. Cute pic with the cat paws in the pic. Is your cat laid back enough to actually let you pose her/him for the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcoincoin Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 next ones : Ectillaenus giganteus Rather frequent in one of the site more elusive in the other. Those three were picked on the same day. Third one being quite distorted. sample 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
