I haven't been out much, but I did hit a local spot and find a partial Terataspis pygidium that I'm prepping. It's midway right now and I'll post that separately. For now, just a quickie of what I got in the mail. Here's some crummy pictures: I've wanted one of these flying bugs for a while, and apart from my amazing Dicranurus, I went with something common. Common, yes, but almost 4 inches at a great price. I just can't fathom doing a prep like this. It ain't perfect, but I got it for a steal. Crotalocephalina gibbus. This replaces my other example gifted to me by a fossil comrade. I just hope there will be no earthquakes any time soon, lol. Yes, the hypostome is also exposed, although I did not photograph it. The flying bugs has become more of a feature in Moroccan trilobites in a tight market. Part of me bought this on the prep alone. I could not do this.
