FrostbyteFossils Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I found this small fossil that appears to be a small partial trilobite. Can anyone confirm? Also, i apologize the pictures are so bad. Its so small and flat my camera can't cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleoworld-101 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Unfortunately not a trilobite and i can't really see much that could be definitively identified as a fossil. The only thing i can think of is possibly an internal mold of a shell, where the shell itself has been eroded away and those little lines on the top are the only remnants of the original striated shell surface. Was this from Mulbring Quarry? 1 "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Agreed - not a trilobite.

Nah just a roadside outcrop i have found many other fossils from (still in mulbring). I can't find location of quarry and no one i asked seemed to know. Plus apparently you need permission from land owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 You might try prepping it a bit or at least wetting it to check for additional detail. Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
