Trilobites, found and purchased

[Newbie_1971]

I have been at it still, purchasing and finding trilobites.  Have been at it just over a year now!

I am a bit worried that all your trilobites are to heavy and will break those glass shelves! Best to send some my way, just to be on the safe side!

Hahaha! It looks like you should send me some! I  have been seeing your finds! That's awesome man! Congrats! I  am going to add more later. I  believe that I have over 50 types of trilobites as of now!

Where is the double Triarthrus from? Looks real nice.

[Newbie_1971]

Ohio, or Kentucky,  will have to check to be sure.

You sure have been keeping yourself busy.

Very nice collection of trilobites hopefully I can plan to go hunt some in the future.

I went out after work yesterday and found an isotelus and a rock filled with crinoids! 

[Thomas1982]

That is not from Ohio that is from New York.

Triarthrus is also found in Utica equivalents in the Cincinnati region?

Thanks!

Comparing them I truly think this is from NY, The shale is the same, NY ones are some common and OH ones are so rare....

[Isotelus2883]

I think that they are from OH because the colour of the shale is lighter, the shell colour matches the OH ones rather than a whiter shell from the Newport region, the species is not extremely rare at some localities, and because the original collecter said so.

You may be right,
