Morrocan trilobites (Gerastos, Reedops, Colpocoryphe)

[zaneharrin]

Hello id like to know if the genus is right and I'd love to get a species on these , I know most people call the bigger one flexicalymene ouzregui is that true?

[zaneharrin]

[zaneharrin]

The genera are correct for the Gerastos and Reedops. For the calymenid, we'd need to see the pygidium. If there is pygidial ribbing = Flexicalymene ouzregui; devoid of pygidial ribbing = Colpocoryphe grandis.

Is there a way to tell the species of gerasto and reedops

I'm gonna say flexicalymene ouzregui because I see the ribbing

It is smooth, so it will be the other one.

Can you show me the back of a flexi for future reference 

[zaneharrin]

Do you know the species of the reedops and gerastos- by chance?

[Kane]

I don't have my literature with me.

[zaneharrin]

Literature to show me the pygdium or to identify the gerastos and reedops

Literature for identification. You can source images for the Flexi using Google, and possibly the literature by using Google Scholar.

When do you get your literature by chance?

 Here is a post which shows the difference between them :

 

Search around the Forum as many of these Moroccan trilobites get posted often, you might find your answer there.

[zaneharrin]

Alright will do thank you, if I can't find it I hope someone knows there gerastos and reedops as they would be identifiable because my gerastos is a grade b which is pretty solid

[zaneharrin]

I did research on gerastos for an hour and compared them , this one fits Gerastos tuberculatus marocensis 😁😁

[zaneharrin]

And id say the reedops is Reedops cephalotes hamlagdadianus maybe @piranhacan help ?

[doushantuo]

Maybe "cholpocoryphe" in the header can still be changed?

WRONG. Colpocoryphe.

[Kane]

Colpocoryphe is the proper spelling. You may wish to avoid using internet acronyms on a forum that has an international membership as this does not lend itself to getting adequate translation for those members who use translation services to read content here.

[zaneharrin]

Okay , what do you think on my trilobites am I right with the identification
