Pleuromya Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hi, I have recently visited Wren's Nest, Dudley and I spotted this trilobite just as I was leaving. Could it be the trilobite Dalmanites? Another common trilobite from the area is Calymene blumenbachii, although it has a small spine, so I don't think it could be that. There's a few brachiopods surrounding it, I believe one is Leptaena? There's also this smaller one in the middle of this photo, is it a trilobite? It's 5mm across. All are from the Silurian. Thank you 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Yes, it looks like Dalmanites, I think Dalmanites myops is the likely species. The brachiopod seems to be Leptaena depressa. The small one might be Acaste downingiae, but someone else needs to confirm that. @piranha Scott? 2 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
