Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I've started a topic on the forum; but over time, it has occurred to me how many of our forum members have spectacular specimens of Chinese trilobites. I hope to start this thread to showcase and celebrate the amazing trilobite fossils that come from China, contributed by no other than our very own.
Chinese trilobites have been relatively underlaid in the trilobite collection world by the Moroccan material and Russian material. But with a jaw-dropping diversity and rarity of trilobites, China's trilobites may make up for the incredible 3-D preservation seen in Moroccan Devonian trilobites and Russian Ordovician trilobites. China's Cambrian trilobites are quite famous and popular, ranging from the god-status trilobites of the Kushan formation in Shandong, to the unique trilobites of the Sandu formation from Guangxi, to the ancient trilobites of the Chengjiang and Guanshan fauna in Yunnan... the list goes on.
Perhaps we may even start to hear Chinese Cambrian, Russian Ordovician, American Silurian and Moroccan Devonian in the future amongst trilobite collectors!
Regardless, I hope the collectors of the forum would be willing to share their fossils to us, no matter how they are. The more the merrier!
