paleo.nath Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hello, i’ve just recently found out about the possible trilobites that can be found near Hoppin Hill Massachusetts, does anybody have any information on where exactly these are and if they are available to the public?

jpc Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I am a native of MA and I have never heard of Hoppin Hill. I do know that the Paradoxoides found in Braintree were found in an excavation.... MBTA? maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the trilobite site was in Boston harbor, and is now only accessible by boat/canoe/kayak. I've heard tell of plant and insect trace fossils in North Attleboro, but not trilobites.
