Many of the trilobites found at this location have rolled and on occasion you are lucky enough to find a completely enrolled trilobite.

| This picture is of a group of trilobites. It is one of the better trilobite fossils that I have found. They are approximately 380 million years old and were found in Gore, Virginia. Many of the trilobites found at this location have rolled and on occasion you are lucky enough to find a completely enrolled trilobite. |

| These two pictures demonstrate the typical types of trilobite fossils you can find at the Gore, VA site. On the left is an enrolled trilobite of which hammer and chisel was required to expose a large portion. To the right is a external mold of a trilobites mid section. Typically, only fragments are found and very difficult to extract intact. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
