The one on top is missing the right pleural lobe. The second one is missing part of the lower left pleural lobe. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilDAWG Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 These trilobites appear to be Flexicalymene. Flexicalymene meeki has been reported from the Whitby Formation, and I have a nice cephalon on a slab with Pseudogygites latimarginatus pygidia from Oshawa. Given the poor state of preservation of the cephalon on the specimens shown here I would not care to venture an ID to species, I'd leave it at Flexicalymene sp.

Difficult to identify with poor preservation but @FossilDAWG certainly knows his formations. Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
