All from the Late Cambrian of Guangxi (Sandu Formation):

Haniwa longa

I'm quite certain this is Decurtatus conicus. Haniwa has significantly larger eyes

Unfortunately 'Decurtatus conicus' is not a valid name.  Many new genera and species from Zhu 2005 are still awaiting formal publication.

Thanks Eric, it's been an amazing few years! I never would have dreamed I'd have the collection I have today 

 

Incredible trilobites as always, Marc ;) Good looks!

I don't know how you do it without being in China yourself like oilshale is...

I tried to order some Cambrian items from Shandong recently (thru the usual venue) and they sent me some of those Pliocene crabs from Madagascar! I give up.

 

At least crabs are somewhat related to trilobites? :heartylaugh:

Not very close to the Hyolithids that would have been included with that lot... :shakehead:

I had that same question... The usual site doesn't have this much variety available (unless maybe you're on it constantly, with a hundred different saved searches going, and you're willing to shell out for them at closing time!). Like collecting fossils in the field, when you find a honey hole you're not going to be quick to divulge it to others - better to buy them and retail them on the auction site for a profit and keep the best one of each for your own collection!

OK... I don't have very many and probably none that haven't already been shown (in better examples)..

I won't include the few trilobite relatives I have from Chengjiang (Naraois, Misszhouia).

I may not have all the info correct ..so corrections or additional info would be appreciated!
