hrguy54 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Got to visit the Trilobites of America lab in No. Kentucky on Sunday. They're one of, if not the best such labs in the world. They do incredible work! Was given permission to share some of the pics I took. (my thumb is there for perspective, I had no coins) From the storage shelves: Even a crinoid From the lab tables: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 cool stuff. but isn't that first photo of a Moroccan trilobite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrguy54 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 It may be Morroccan. This group does business internationally not just OH/KY, not just the US. People from around the world send them pieces to prep. They present at shows around the world. If I've got this right, they also find and then develop new sites to supply unique trilobite specimens. Check out their website for more info..... trilobitesforamerica.com. Very cool business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroMike Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 It is amazing to see the results of others prep work. To me, it is an art form to be able to bring these back to "life".

sward Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 ...Check out their website for more info..... trilobitesforamerica.com... I assume you meant www.trilobitesofamerica.com? When I went to trilobitesFORamerica.com, I was redirected to www.trilobitesOFamerica.com. Where in KY are they located? I didn't see any location info on their website.

hrguy54 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Pretty sure in Newport, but could be Southgate, just the other side of the river from Cincinnati. I was part of a caravan of vehicles winding our way through town to the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
