Fossil silica shale trilobite and brachiopods
| Description: |
The name of the trilobite preserved here is Phacops rana. It is one of the most well known of the North American trilobites, and many times one of the best preserved. Its head is almost totally made up of eyes so the animal could see in all directions at once. Preserved with this trilobite are two brachiopods, the shells you see. This specimen was found in Ohio. |
