blackmoth Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 This little spherical trilobite is given to me as a gift by a French friend in an mineral and fossil exhibit in Beijing, who said it must be a Morocco ordovician species. Is it possible for me to get to know more here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 We'll need better pictures (view from directly above) of the cephalon and the pygidim, to have any success with an ID. Back up a bit from the subject, as the ruler is in focus but the trilobite is not. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Kane Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Looks somewhat similar to Bavarilla zemmourensis. The pygidium has the telltale appearance of a phacopid. I can't really make out the cephalon features very well in this image. Is there still some matrix to remove, or is it completely effaced? ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea. either way, the blue stuff is very hard, to even leave a scratch on it. considering fine features are already broken down in many places, there is little I could do (with a needle or some chemicals ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
