ZiggieCie Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Welcome to the Forum, That is a beautiful Trilobite. Did you find it?
Triceratops Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Great specimen! Thanks for sharing! -Lyall
Fossildav Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Very nice , hard to obtain complete specimen like this
Wrangellian Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Is that what they look like complete? Thanks for showing!
New Members trilobitefan Posted September 16, 2015 Author New Members Posted September 16, 2015 Welcome to the Forum, That is a beautiful Trilobite. Did you find it? I'm buy it from a local professional.
New Members trilobitefan Posted September 16, 2015 Author New Members Posted September 16, 2015 Is that what they look like complete? Thanks for showing! It is not 100% complete, and is not perfect. This type of trilobite has double spines (Upper and Lower)
Wrangellian Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 It is not 100% complete, and is not perfect. This type of trilobite has double spines (Upper and Lower) I know, there is no such thing as perfection, but yours certainly has more than my two examples.
fossilized6s Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 That is a beautiful bug! The colors and detail are gorgeous.

ElToro Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 One of these trilos just arrived in the mail so I thought I'd have a look on the Forum to see other examples of them. This is a great one! Mine is nowhere near as well preserved as yours. It needs some cleaning too. "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones

ElToro Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 I've posted in "fossil prep" and "fossil ID" to get an idea of what I can do to clean it and some info on it. Looks like I maybe able to remove some of the matrix over the cephalon. When I get an air scribe that is.... "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones
doushantuo Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 That's one ugly trilo ,for sure.You should give it away to someone here.
ElToro Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Yea, they seem to fall apart quite easily... Except for the pygidium which is almost always intact! Maybe they should be called the "Iron butt" trilobite... "That belongs in a museum!" - Indiana Jones
