Just started searching for fossils since moving to central New York. These are some finds from Madison County. I was hoping for some help, I know they are trilobites, but not the species.  There were also some shells I was curious about. Thanks.

Greenops sp.

If you have access, Trilobites of New York is a good resource.

 

For your brachiopods and gastropods, I defer to our resident expert @Jeffrey P.

The first image looks like an Eldredgeops rana cephalon, along with other bits.

The gastropod looks like Glyptotomaria capillaria.

Brachiopod 1 looks like a Rhipodomella penelope.

Brachiopod 2 is Mucrospirifer mucronatus.

The cephalopod looks like Michelinoceras telamon.

Thanks, Tim!

I should say that the second image was my Greenops, and I agree with the E. rana on the first.

I agree with Tim on the gastropod and brachiopod IDs. I see a very nice complete Greenops trilobite there. Congrats.

Isn't it also possible that it is a Bactritid ?

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Good point, Kevin.  :Smiling:

Absolutely. Could be Bactrites sp or Dolorthoceras exile

I didn't notice the size my first go around, :duh2:   so, this is even more likely.  :blush:
