Bobby Rico Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) A little variation today and tomorrow. So many of TFF members have been incredible kind to me over the years and so with keeping to the theme of trilobites, today my thread thanks you . Theses are beautiful and I think it is the contrasting colour of the matrix and trilobites that make them so pleasing to the eye. Aphelaspis brachyphasis Conasauga farm, Murry Country, Georgia Upper Cambrian. @Tidgy's Dad with Sara, @Nimravis and of course Doren.
