Here are a few:

Drotops armatus from Morocco and Hoplolichas from Russia.

Also got a really nice Dicranurus from M. Youssef, but no pics, yet.

congrats, some nice bugs!

I just love assemblages where they are all complete and relatively close together. (I don't like large emplty matrix.)

Gotten behind in posting new Trilobite additions: Here are a couple from September:

Nevadia weeksi, Lower Lower Cambrian, Esmeralda County, Nevada. A very early post Fallotaspid, Pre Olenellid trilobite. (of the four I have this has to be the best I have ever seen)

Olenellus nevadensis Klondike Gap Nevada, a large rare Olennellid over 2 inches, probably one of the rarer species...
