Sinopaleus Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 36 cm'er, not the biggest, but it displays amazing quality. Minor fill ins on the two cracks, running across the cephalon and down the cephalon into the thorax. Has about 2% of repair altogether. Acadoparadoxides is the largest trilobite species of the order Redlichiida, and fourth largest overall. I love this guy (as with all my other fossils lol) Acadoparadoxides briareus Middle Cambrian Sidi Abdallah ben el Hadji, Morocco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinopaleus Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) A hash plate of Devonian fish... Including Sarcopterygians and Placoderms. The shield plates mainly belong to Bothriolepis sinensis, but there is a fairly complete placoderm preserved along side with a giant 4-cm sarcopterygian (lobe-finned fish) tooth. I think the placoderm is Bothriolepis sinensis. Psarolepis romei & Bothriolepis sinensis (?)

Sinopaleus Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 A peculiar galeaspid fish fossil... Possibly belongs to a yet undiscribed branch of the galeaspids. Head shield is long and narrow, and can reach lengths up to 16 cm.
