You should post this in the fossil forum and add info on where it came from

I might agree if it wasn't for the fact it repeats itself in two places.
I spend a lot of time fossil hunting I can help you the best I can I'm from Florida and I can tell those are from nowhere near me.. But I will give it a shot where were they found?

Can't say what it is, but I don't think it's a trilobote ("three lobes") . They have a distinct head, body and tail (cephalon, thorax and pygidium).

Might be a partial, but none I know of have a central valley like that. Might be the trace of where a trilobite was and that's the silt underneath.
