FossilDAWG Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'd like to enter a specimen of the trilobite Olenoides curticei Walcott that I collected on March 23. While it is not perfect, it is by far the most complete example of this species I have ever seen. Generally one finds isolated pygidia and glabella, or more rarely a pygidium or head with a couple of associated thoracic segments. This specimen is missing the free cheeks (and so may be a molt) and bits of the edge of the pygidium and head, but all the major sclerites (again, except for the free cheeks) are present and well articulated. Also the specimen is fully three-dimensional on a silica nodule, an extremely rare mode of preservation. I've also included a reconstruction from Walcott, which was based on several fragmentary specimens. ID: Olenoides curticei Walcott Collection site: Cherokee County, Alabama Conesauga Formation, Middle Cambrian Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH4ShotCaller Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 A good friend suggested I use better light for the pics. A poet and camera person I'm not. The other pictures are darker and hard to see the detail. These are the 'enhanced' pics of The Boss, better light and detail. Before pics a few comments up.Thanks!
