Trilobite From Conasauga Shale


Dicranurus

Recommended Posts

This trilobite is from Conasauga Shale, Floyd Co., Georgia, USA and it is Middle Cambrian.

Is this Elrathia antiquata which is the dominant trilobite of Conasauga Shale? I don't know what other trilobites are in Conasauga Shale.

Thanks again to everyone

Nice find! Too bad it's so distorted.... but then Metamorphism will tend to do that to fossils. :)
