Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 It is hard to determine from the photo, but it is probably some kind of phacopid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Way to go, Matt! You're finding some good things in that creek of yours "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 ^^I knew it was only a matter of time before he started finding trilobites. That area is known for some nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenInTime Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm not betting anything over it, however I think this could well be a member of the order [PHACOPIDA] (as previously suggested) and to be more specific: Calymenidae. Do you know about any finds in the area? Ordovician or Silurian? Good luck hunting there!! cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Do you know about any finds in the area? Ordovician or Silurian? He collects Devonian. It is probably a Phacops, but not enough there to determine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
