very small trilobite and bird

[mclean]

We were lucky to notice the little trilobite, and there was a coral or shell that came of the side of the rock that looks like it has a bird painted on it. The little rock is pictured from both sides.
Would anyone know what type of coral or fossil it might have been

Hi mclean, good eyes..nice find hard to tell..might be a gastropod even. Did your stone matrix come from the seaside?

I may be wrong, but your item in the first photo looks too much like a fossil gastropod (Clam shell). JMO!

The rock was found by a fresh water burn,

Age wise (trilobite and your unknown fossil)..there would have been saltwater sea back then.Paleontologist's say they have proof that Canadian trilo's and Scot/UK trilo's were from the same area/sea aged 400+ million yrs ago. Your trilobite looks identical to the one I chiseled/grinded/drilled into a necklace I've worn for 10 yrs or more! Hope you keep fossil hunting my friend!

Here is the one..comparison look familiar?

It's been dated from the Silurian/Cambrian time period.(430-500+million yr. age)

I'll go along with the piece of trilobite pygidium (last segements of the hind end). But no way that is a bird or any piece of one.
