A couple of Bohemeian trilobites

No, this post is not about Trilobites that hang out in coffee shops reading poetry, rather it's to display two fossils from the western region of the Czech Republic.

The first is Aulacopleura konincki. It comes from the Liten fm. near Lodenice and is dated to the Silurian (Wenlock series).

The second fossil is Ellipsocephalis hoffi from the Jince fm. near Jince and is dated to the middle Cambrian period.

The website Trilobites.info has a page dedicated to the Trilbites found in the Jince formation.
