From the album: Wheeler Formation
Beautiful dark red Elrathia molt. That small dot to the left of the bug is a cranidium belonging to a member of the same species! -

Beautiful, large molt with a tinge of green. -

Unsurprisingly thought this was an Elrathia when I found it. -

Hi everyone! I purchased this trilobite mortality plate a few months ago, but I haven't gotten the chance to get an ID yet. All the info I have on it is that it was collected near Tafraoute, Morocco and is from an Ordovician formation. (not sure which one) They are all about an inch and unfortunately most of the heads are not preserved great. I can provide bette r pictures if needed. Thanks!

Hi all! I am relatively new to the forum as well as to collecting but I have put together a small collection of various specimens over the last year. This collection will keep growing and I will continue to post when I get new specimens. I have some more small specimens but for now I am only posting a selection of my collection. Enjoy! -Ben

This is from the Devonian Birdsong shale in Parsons, TN USA. It is a solid spine resting across a Dalmanites retusus tail molt. I can’t think of anything with this slender taper and length other than a rare-for-Tennessee, Dicranurus spine. Is this a correct assumption?

Here are some of the most intact trilobite fragments I've collected from breaking apart shale. Pic 1 is very well preserved though I do wish there could have been more of it. Pic 2 may have some of the best 3-D nature to it, especially where you can see both sides. Pic 3 looks really awesome in my opinion, but what really sells this one for me is what I suspect to be a horseshoe crab in the bottom middle, though additional input is much appreciated. Pic 4 is the first one I found from shale. Pic 5 is the first trilobite I ever found on my first fossil hunting expedition in the summer so it really holds a special place in my heart. It is just one part of a large rock that has a lot of stuff in it from crinoid stems to brachiopods, I could honestly make a whole post just about that one rock. And there are some of my best finds from shale! I only started finding it on my last expedition before it got too cold, but I'm already anxiously waiting for it to get warm again so I can hopefully find more, I still have fingers crossed I'll find a full trilobite!

Orytocephalites + unknown ptychopariid Cranidium

From the album: Pioche Formation
Two uncommon bugs, if only it weren’t just the cranidium! The orytocephalites cranidium is truly miniscule, it's located towards the bottom of the screen in the center - underneath the larger ptychopariid molt piece. -
