BLT Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I am wondering if this hash plate from Penn Dixie has the cephalon imprint from a large trilobite, or is it from something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Definitely a cephalon imprint of an Eldredgeops. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

gigantoraptor Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Is this an imprent? This is indeed the cephalon of a trilobite Eldredgeops rana, but it looks like the actual fossil.Or is it because of the lightning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a bit shiny because I applied super glue to it yesterday in hopes of it not disintegrating. I’ve been wondering if that was a dumb idea?

Although dry now, it did have a bit of a pooling in the indentations. I believe that is what is causing the 3D appearance in the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
