FossilizedBob89 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi everyone! I've trade some trilobites partials few weeks ago and I am not sure about the ID that comes with the pieces! Its says Proetida Phillipsiidae from Tournai, Belgium! What do you think? Thankyou! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FossilizedBob89 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Here is a imprint of a tail! Ops sorry! Here it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manticocerasman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There are multiple trilobite species from that area. I think i'ts "Piltonia kuehnei" But I m not 100% sure, i ts verry hard to make a diference between them. The age is Tournaisian (early carboniferous) Kevin growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 With only the pygidium and the negative, I'd have to agree with Kevin. But like he said, differentiation between the two is difficult without more to go on. Best regards, Paul ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I agree with Kevin on the ID. There is more to see than just the pygidium by the way, also a cranidium, which fits Piltonia nicely. From the looks of it, most of the shale is left in the negative imprint. Another example of this trilobite can be found in our database: here.

FossilizedBob89 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think it is Piltonia partials! When I compare the pieces I have and some pictures of Piltonia, they are exactly the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sorry about the wording, but it was supposed to read pygidium on the negative. I do not proofread sometimes and I should. Fred is completely correct. Paul ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
