Wrangellian Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Thanks Gery! It is one of the best I've found up there, though it still annoys me that I could not recover the turret. I know it was there somewhere, and I tried to find it, but failed... again. I wonder if it's a female, being bigger than this one I found in that same area a while back: (this one obviously came without a turret) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 And they're still rolling in! Thanks again, everyone... My first-ever FOTM entry was a trilobite the previous month, but it didn't win. You can't go wrong with a good heteromorph. I know, they are weird - you'd think such a delicate shell as this would be a liability, compared to the more compact or streamlined planispiral types, but there it is.

You could bid on the Christmas auction that is offering a prep job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 If only I could afford it... There are other fossils that would have priority if I could, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
