Muffinsaurus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I found this mortality plate along AA Highway in Kentucky. Area is ordovician. I've been cleaning on this plate all night, when found this little guy under some dirt and brachiopod fragments. Did I just find a flexicalymene trilobite head? I know it's just a fragment and not the full thing. But I'd be pretty stoked if I'm correct on this. Thanks in advance. (I traced it out just in case my picture is too poor to see it. I can't find my macro lens) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me more eager to drive 3 hours back to the location I found it and see if I can find more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also be on the look out for pygidia Free cheeks Segments of the thorax And hypostomes (all the above from Flexis from the Late Ordovician of St. Leon, Indiana.) 2 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Muffinsaurus Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 I have a few dozen thorax prices. I've also broken a few trying to free them However thank you for the guide because I'll definitely be on the look out for the rest of the parts. Maybe one day I could composite a Frankenbite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
