Nice contrast! The mammal species should be "easy" to identify, but in case you want to take a stab at the trilobite:

Kidding aside, I like the textures and three dimensional qualities of your image.

Lovely shot, Peter. I echo what Jess has to say and add that I think the lighting and B & W conversion are exquisite. As usual, lovely work!

All the best, my friend...

Very nice lighting. Texture and 3 dimension really pops out. Are you sure that Trilobite is not a miniature mummy.

Jess, Endre, Christian...........thanks to all of you for the comments about lighting etc. I spent quite a bit of time trying different backgrounds and lighting.
My oldest son gave me the trilobite a few years back for my birthday, it was from the midwest somewhere. i found the skull in a gorge already dried and clean
(that's lucky....when i was a kid i brought one home and boiled it and the whole house smelled).................................or is it that cat i keep posting images of??
