randygeki Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks Theres one up and to the right the looks like it may be one, but IDK what the rest are. They seem to just be on surface, and could rub off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missourian Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Wow, that is so beautiful! I love the color, it's like a porcelain artwork! Yeah. When I dream at night, it involves finding one of these Ameuras laid out flat and pushing three inches. Context is critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 This flexicalymene is one of my favorites. Not spectacular or rare, but it lived in the same neighborhood I do (I bet the neighbors were less noisy then). There is something very neat to me, knowing that If I had stepped out on my back porch 445 mya I may have seen this guy scuttling around, which is ridiculous of course since I only moved here 10 years ago.

They are awesome bugs, and one of the first ones I could collect since they are so close to Illinois. they are spectacular to me even though not rare. I have taken many folks to eastern Indiana over years and this is one bug I can count on some of them finding, and I know it is exciting for them!!!

Caleb Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 While going through pictures to update my website, I came across one I had forgotten about(the picture, not the bug). Because of the great photo skills of T.E. Whiteley (co-author of Trilobites of New York) I feel compelled to share. The trilobite was coated in a fine white powder to bring out the detail for photographing. This method is not permanent and does not damage the fossil. This is a Calyptaulax larrabei from the Maquoketa formation of Northeast Iowa. This trilobite was named after Governor William Larrabee(1886-1890) who's hometown is near the type locality. Overhead view Side view of the awesome eye Caleb Midwestpaleo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
