Bc Trilos

[Semenzini]

Finally found the time to take some pics and get these posted! Seems to happen with kids and summertime, it flys by. Anyway, these are from the Tanglefoot site near Cranbrook for those familiar with it. I was lucky enough to get in contact with the claim owner who let me collect a few times with him. Title has since changed hands, maybe the new owner is open to public collecting??

Here are a few of my favorites, I believe this group is similar in age to the Burgess gang...

Enjoy

Burgess Shale is middle and these are upper Cambrian trilobites. Congrats on the excellent finds

[Malcolmt]

Great finds!!!!

[Missourian]

All are excellent, especially #5.

[Semenzini]

Thanks everyone. I kind of like #4. I think the molts are pretty interesting. I have one where the head is flipped a complete 180 and is overprinted on the thorax. Literally 'flipped his lid'.

I like this, good

[PrimitivePast]

I like #3...multiples are spectacular. Thank you for sharing the pictures of your finds.

Nice little collection of the more common trilobites from the Tanglefoot site Mike!

For those of you not familiar with these trilobites, they are (top row: left to right): Wujiajiania sutherlandi, Pterocephalia norfordi, a very nice Wujiajiania sutherlandi multiple and a Labiostria westropi molt. In the second row (again, left to right): a very nice Labiostria westropi carcass and Pseudagnostus communis.

They are as pirahna (scott) mentioned upper Cambrian (upper Stptoean), so younger than the Burgess Shale but none the less very cool trilobites because of their mode of preservation!

I'm hoping to get together with Chris New (newdog65) and do some collecting at the Tanglefoot site (and other nearby new sites) sometime next year (as this year's been a bust for collecting)!

Thanks for posting these Mike! I love these trilobites (OK, I love all trilobites)!
