BobWill Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I recently saw his workshop, a totally awesome place with walls covered to the ceiling with boxes of unfinished trilobites and a major project involving two huge slabs full of very large trilobites. A very interesting and generous master of the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobWill Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 F Man Yep I was the one who could only find trilobite tails. Is there a derogatory term for that ? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 F Man Yep I was the one who could only find trilobite tails. Is there a derogatory term for that ? Bob No, but there is for someone who finds only complete, perfect trilobites...

FrozenInTime Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Yeah the plate looks interesting, if that's from Walcott Rust Quarry there must be many more smaller trilobites buried in between the big Isotelus we see.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
