Johannes Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Here my first nice trilobite find: an exuvia of Asaphus (Neoasaphus) cornutus (Pander, 1830) from an glacial erratic boulder of the "Obere Linsenschicht" from the middle Ordovician, upper Llanvirn, C1b, found on a field near the small village Stäbelow near Rostock (county of Mecklenburg, Germany), Lenght 7 cm, prep.

ynot Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) I really enjoy seeing all of the trilobites from around the world and through the ages!! Thanks to all for sharing Your pieces. Here are some that I collected. A Bolaspidella housensis. from the Wheeler shale. And an Altiocculus harrisi 1.25 inches also from the wheeler shale... And a common one that has failed to make a previous appearance.... An Elrathia kingi 1 inch from the wheeler shale... Tony Edited June 11, 2016 by ynot 2 Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

Guguita2104 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Nice bugs, everyone! Here it's mine (in the center): Neseuretus avus-It was the only trilo I found by myself (Ordovician layers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgehiker Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm not all that knowledgeable of 'bugs'. Trilobite collectors tend to be like shark teeth collectors...obsessed in a good way. There are some trilobite sites in the Carboniferous layers that make up the mountains to the west of Calgary...however, the trilobites are on the small side...easily overlooked among the brachs, crinoids, , etc. on the surface of hash plates. A bit further to the west across the Alberta/BC Great Divide are lots of Cambrian sites but hard to access these remote areas. These two specimens are random finds at sites I doubt anyone has accessed previously. One ( 8cm long) is similar to Ogygopsis klotzi found at the nearby Burgess Shale. The other one I don't know. I've never got the hang of identifying trilobites. Anyways, lots of potential all along a 400 km corridor for a keen hiker to find some new species. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you added a name and scale to your photo. Many of us, me included, are negligent in providing size perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure the one on the left is Bathyuriscus. I think it is Bathyuriscus because the pygidium is so unique and it has 7-9 thorax sections that end in points that point kinda away from the body and the glabella is very large when compared to the rest of the cephalon. The free cheeks seem to match as well. Been working with a lot of them lately. not sure about the one on the right. here is a guide my professor gave me for a few cambrian trilobites. Unfortunately the one on the right is not included in my guide. they are very nice looking! I love the spines coming off the one on the right! What resolution did you post those pictures at? the quality is very good and allowed me to zoom right in. They are truly a wonderful find! Want to learn about fossil prep? Then check out my blog!

Zachster Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 This one is a mirror image of the pervious one. I saw a corner of the above image and tried to open it up to view the fossil and this one was on one side of the opened shale and the other was on the other side of the open shale. Anyone know what that is called? Want to learn about fossil prep? Then check out my blog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lovely trilo! Yes I agree . I have had this for many years now and it was given to me by a very well known expert in British trilobites and the head man in one of my local museums to me . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
