Thanks I thought it did but I’m better with trilobites. so i was unsure if this specimen was painted or what not, if anyone could help with a species name that would be great as well it looks to be a specimen from somewhere in New York.

Eurypterus remipes is probably it.

Hard to be certain of an ID, given the lack of provenance.

Only provenance he could give was New York. he confirmed to me a moment ago.

That's a pity, since fossils lose their value both scientifically and financially without precise information, so hopefully he's not asking too much for it.

I’ve heard back from the owner with a precise location of where the original person collected it, he said it’s from, Langs Quarry, in Herkimer.

I was actually figuring that much, but it's good to know now for sure.
