Tennessee Trilobite fossil specimen

Tennessee Trilobite Identification

Trilobite is a realistic Tennessee fossil profile built around segmented marine arthropod preserved in shale or limestone from ancient inland seas. In this state, success usually comes from learning roadcuts through limestone and shale, coal spoils, and stream gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
