Trout fishing trip with some unexpected trilobite finds!
Nautiloid posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Yesterday my dad and I went to a local trout stream for a couple hours just to get out of the house. We did very well with the trout, I got 4 brookies and a brown and he got 7 brookies. On the way back to the car I noticed a small exposure along the side of the creek and took a few minutes to check it out. I immediately saw evidence of trilobites so I dug around some more and I found some nice stuff, including 3 new species for me. The rock is Middle Ordovician Trenton Group and It seems like the Sugar River Limestone. I will be putting photos on here throughout the day when I get time to photograph my finds Enjoy!!- 18 replies

Found what I am pretty sure is a trilobite hidden in this matrix, but am completely new to fossil prepping. Any advice on how to possibly remove the matrix? Thanks!

Hi there, Latest preps : trilobites from Brittany ordovician. The Neseuretus was collected in décember, kinda last hunts we could manage before more lockdown, i didnt think it would turn out that nice. The second one, was waiting on the shelf for quite a while, despite it only needed a small preparation and is a positive and negative Eodalmanitina sp.

Found this in a creek bed in Green Bay Wisconsin. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me which trilobite it is. Additionally why is there a brown spot?

I recently purchased a 40lb box of shale from U-Dig Fossils in Utah. Mid-Cambrian, Wheeler Shale Formation, House Range, Millard County, Utah. This morning after work, I split a smallish piece & one side had an odd dent, the other had an indistinct, slightly raised shape that sort of looked like a trilobite, so I started trying to find out if it was. This was the result. Using dental picks, a needle in a small pin vice, a # 428 Dremel wire brush (by hand) & another small, round nylon brush (Dremel) in another pic vice... and lots of patience. I think it's most of an Elrathia Kingii minus the cheeks (of course) measuring 1.5 cm in length. It isn't the cleanest & I have a bit more to do, but I wanted to "show it off" as it were. And see if I got the I.D right. Not the greatest quality pic, but I've also been up for almost 24 hours, so it may just be my imagination (pic quality or that I actually took a pic).

Found this near Utica, is it a trilobite head? The area has tons of triarthrus heads and nautiloids, but nothing as big as this. Unfortunately this is the best photo I can get at the moment as I stupidly misplaced the possible head. Also included is a fossilized sea shell, if anyone knows what species it belongs to that'd be great.

Trilobite - Is it real and what species is it?
GenXer posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I purchased this trilobite from a rock shop. After doing some online research, I think it’s real but would like some more opinions. It passes the tooth test (feels like stone). Also, if it is real, does anyone know what type or species it is? TIA!

Hello! After losing 2020, and then winter, I was finally able to get out and look around in my new area, NE Iowa and near Grant County, Wisconsin. I walked down a few rivers in the Ordovician areas, Platteville Formation, Grant County, and picked up what I think might be a Trilobite? Based on the Various publications of the region, it may be Sceptaspis lincolnensi, but this is really my first Trilobite I have found (in many years of walking along looking at rocks) I haven't cleaned off any of the matrix, just a nice scrub. I also found this hash plate nearby, I liked the Gastropod? In the center and noticed and when I looked it may have a similar trilobite? Thanks, appreciate your help!

I found a tiny object locked in matrix yesterday late in the afternoon and threw it in the bucket thinking it was a brachiopod. So when I cleaned it up a little this morning, I was surprised!! My wife fell in love with this trilobite (loves anything petite) and insisted I enter the FOTM competition. I am torn between a very small Isotelus or the more likely Anataphrus vigilans. HELP so I can enter before today's deadline (for her sake!!!).

When splitting some extra matrix from the Tibbs Bridge Road exposure of the Middle Cambrian Conasauga Formation I came across this trilobite cephalon imprint. It does not seem to match any of the common trilobites found at the site and I could not find a similar example in the various trip reports other members have posted about past visits to the site. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
