I recently found this bundle of trilobites for sale online. The pictures were poor and the seller had no ID/location information, but the price was right. I have a good idea what most of these are but would like to see what you guys think.

1, 2. Looks like Flexicalymene ouzregui, which is a fairly common one from the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Ordovician. There's a similar-looking one that is a Colpocryphe sp.

 

3. Looks like Eldredgeia sp (?venustus) from the Belen Formation, Bolivia. Devonian.

 

5. Looks like Elrathia kingii, from Utah. Cambrian.

 

7. Looks like Gravicalymene celebra, from the Silurian, Sugar Run Formation. I have a pair of them here: 

 

 

I have some guesses on the others, but my brain is a bit sluggish today. :P They are quite readily identifiable ones, too. I'll call in @piranha

Wow!  What a great set for your collection.  That must have had a sweet price tag attached.  Great hunting trophy.
