Atomic Rat Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 This place is great - I agree 100% Atomic Rat and your great trilobites are very much appreciated Btw! This Cyphaspis sp. that you just posted is particularly nice. The prep work was meticulously performed as evidenced by the fine detail of the tubercles preserved on the glabella (nose). The flying aspect is really presented well by virtue of the nicely sculpted matrix. So much nicer than the scratchy hap-hazard way some of them are finished off. There are many great trilobite reference on the internet for you. One of the better sites is Dr Sam Gon's "Guide to the Order of Trilobites" as well as dozens of others depending on what mood you're in. Thanks again for showing us your collection! I've managed to get a booklet with pictures of trilobites. I have more to post as I can get more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicranurus Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I like this one a lot, Flying Cyphaspis from Morocco. He's had some minor repairs but I think he looks fairly nice for a few hundred million years old. Nice Cyphaspis! Here is part of my trilobites if you are interested.

piranha Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Here's one from a quarry near Sylvania, Ohio. This trilobite is now officially named Eldredgeops. I'm sticking with the old name however; Phacops rana crassituberculata. I've been saying it for so long now I can't make myself change .. OH WELL! What's the measurement on yours? It's a beautiful bug Ron! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
