Themaniac19 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I got these guys a while ago. I didn't get the location nor the period that they came from unfortunately. I can post some more pictures in a day or two. Any help would be great! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 The 2nd and 4th photos from the original post are the same trilobite. A photo showing the calymenid pygidium will help with a better ID. calymenid sp. - Ordovician - Morocco Elrathia kingii - Cambrian - Utah illaenula vietnamica - Devonian - China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themaniac19 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Here's the pygidium. Thanks again for the quick reply! Edited January 25, 2016 by Themaniac19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 It's very weathered. Label it calymenid sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guguita2104 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice trilos! IMO, the first one is a calymenid (maybe Flexicalymene ouzregui) and the second is an Elrathia Kingii. Regards, Guguita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themaniac19 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks. Should I label it as cf. F. ouzregui then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks. Should I label it as cf. F. ouzregui then? No, the other comment said "maybe Flexicalymene ouzregui". That's why I suggested a label of: calymenid sp. If the pygidial flanks were preserved better it actually could be a uniquely different calymenid (Colpocoryphe). Unfortunately there isn't anything diagnostic to confidently assign a genus or species. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
