fossil35 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) I found a trilobite I posted a bit back that was clearly ate in half. I found a lose trilobite piece that came out on split and looked a bit like the first I found but wanted to check if others thought same? The back end looks normal, middle area looks crushed like, then head missing. I was trying to look up photos of wounded or ate trilobites but could only find ones with small healed wounds. Wanted to find out so don't just throw in bag of bits and parts if it really is a ate one. #1 #1(closer) Edited December 28, 2023 by fossil35 word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossil35 Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Tried looking for photos of any like ones I had but only found more healed wound photos. Will for now store these 2 and hopefully can found something at some point. I don't want to end up throwing out something that is interesting but I know I'll run out of storage space at some point too. Been like some of the ones found that may not be perfect looking but seem interesting. Will keep looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
