For the past couple of summers, this forum has been super helpful in ID'ing for me fossils that I come across while walking Rocky Mountain streams fishing for cutthroat trout.  And I have another!

 

This was found in the East Kootenay region of British Columbia;  in a different drainage than, by relatively close to, the Tanglefoot Creek trilobite field.

 

Knowing that the Tanglefoot field was in the relative vicinity I was keeping my eyes peeled  for fossils as we walked along the river. Super pleased to stumbled across this on the river floodplain.

 

The novice that I am is pretty sure it's a trilobite as well, but is I don't know what type/species.

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

The fossil curves around the rock. Overall length is 5". Width is 1.25"

 

The first two pics show both sides of the rock

You will need to upload your photos in JPG format as the forum cannot process HEIC files.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Yeah, first place I looked. I make lots of edits on forums!

Looks like a cross section through an Orthocone cephalopod/nautiloid.

I think you need to reach a certain amount of posts before you can edit. Maybe @Fossildude19 can confirm that.

In addition, changes are only possible for 48 hours I think (or 24 hours ?).
