I found this small fossil that appears to be a small partial trilobite. Can anyone confirm? Also, i apologize the pictures are so bad. Its so small and flat my camera can't cope.

Unfortunately not a trilobite :( and i can't really see much that could be definitively identified as a fossil. The only thing i can think of is possibly an internal mold of a shell, where the shell itself has been eroded away and those little lines on the top are the only remnants of the original striated shell surface. 

 

Was this from Mulbring Quarry?

Agreed - not a trilobite.

Nah just a roadside outcrop i have found many other fossils from (still in mulbring). I can't find location of quarry and no one i asked seemed to know. Plus apparently you need permission from land owners.

You might try prepping it a bit or at least wetting it to check for additional detail.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
