PennyT. Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Hello again, excuse the poor quality of the photos but this trilobite is about 1/8 inch and my camera (and my eyes for that matter!) don't focus so well that close up, but my magnifying glass does. Found in the Platteville. thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 It's an encrinurid pygidium and might be Walencrinuroides rarus. Caleb has an excellent example in the Platteville gallery at his website: LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sward Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Nice little trilo. Good eyes just to find it. It looks like you've got some other things going on in that plate. Nice find.
