Arc61 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Hi everyone, Thought I'd take a minute to share. So, here's a Trilobite that I purchased about 20 yrs ago. Unfortunately, I lost the details of origin, etc...🙄 Measures about 2.5 " long. I named him Ernie 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the detailed response! Had to look that one up! 😊 Since mine is a bit rough, should I attempt any prep on it to improve it? Or just leave it as is? 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
