0lderthandirt Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So I've been collecting the rocks with obvious fossils on my property to make something, like a fossil garden or rock wall along the walkway. I plucked this out of the ground yesterday, rinsed it off and was about to toss it into the pile when I saw that trilobite. All the others I've found are just little white ones so I was very excited to see the condition of this one. If it wasn't for the obvious injury to the axial lobe I think I could've revived him. 3 Will your next answer to my question be no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamalama Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Very nice find! Pennsylvanian in age I suspect.

0lderthandirt Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 7 hours ago, Shamalama said: Very nice find! Pennsylvanian in age I suspect. My area is Mississippian. I just used my backhoe to pull up the rock that was close to this one. It's very large, I'm guessing close to a ton. It had a few fossils on the surface and quite few more that came loose about 2 feet down. I haven't had a chance to look at it all yet but I'm hoping for more trilobites. There's one more I want but it's considerably larger and more fossils on the surface. The problem is with a rock that big I have to be careful pulling it out so I don't break it. (I want it in one piece for my fossil garden) Will your next answer to my question be no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
