Who doesn't love phacopids? This endearing species hails from the (now-illegal-to-collect) far reaches of a Quebec island in the Gulf of the St Lawrence river. One of the most beautiful places on earth, Anticosti island is as fossil packed as it is remote. Newly established UNESCO 'protections' have made it so that only the AMNH and the rough coastal seas may now collect here. One of the richest fossil beds with the most complete Ordovician/Silurian boundry known to man has shared the fate of so many classic localities. Obtained unprepared from an old, better days collection.

A friend at the end of the world

An incredible, snapshot in limestone of one seriously bad last day. These trilobites have been entombed together for 440 million years. They are again bathed in light from the same star that once filtered down into their marine environment (though that star has changed it's position). Dramatic? Sure, but how else do I describe this thing? It's beautiful and sad in the same moment. One of my favourite Acernaspis preps to date.
