SPrice Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) The one right next to the quarter looks like a bivalve...clam shell in non fossil language. The one next to it is up to the experts. I looked again...it just might be the south end of a trilobite after all. I thought it was a slightly smashed bivalve. Phone screen is too small...moving to the laptop. Edited October 6, 2023 by SPrice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone screen is too small...moving to the laptop. The top photo, almost 100% sure it is a trilobite button, and face/head . I really appreciate all of you guys helping me out. I have gotten some books and research online. But it is super awesome to have experienced people giving their thoughts and opinions. Being new I tend to doubt myself as far as ID.

What do you mean? I believe you can only see it on a computer (or at least I've never seen it while on my phone), but Coco has a printable grid paper you can use for scale in the future. 1 1 1 Fin Lover My favorite things about fossil hunting: getting out of my own head, getting into nature and, if I’m lucky, finding some cool souvenirs.

Coco Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hi, 9 hours ago, Newbie_1971 said: I'm sorry, I am new to this site, and honestly do not use the internet much, and old, hahaha. What do you mean? @Newbie_1971 I mean that under my messages (in my signature), I put a link (in pink) that directs the reader directly on a subject that I opened and in which I put a document centimeter that can be printed. It can be used for photos of fossils that you can put on, of course by revealing one of the boxes with the measurement in it. Here is the direct link : This document can even be fully or partially plasticized to be used in the field when you are looking for fossils and want to take pictures of them. 7 hours ago, SPrice said: Coco, one of our moderators has files attached to her signature to click and print.

Fossildude19 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 You should really number the fossils you wish to have identified, so we can differentiate between them all. Especially when you post so many. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
