Submitter notes: This very large example of this Blastoid is hand held to give scale to the speciman. This is a side view to show the thin feeding grooves (ambulacra)

Location (approximate): Sylvania, Lucas, OH

Strat unit: Silica formation

Submitter notes: This dual speciman shows a large adult & smaller trilobite. They are in the same layer & it would be nice to think of 'Mom & Baby' but the association may not be close at all. Clearly they were killed very quickly as they have not really started to enroll as this species often is found. This was self collected in Sylvania but prepared by Scott Vergiels of our 'Friends' who has prepared most of the trilobites I have posted. Sorry I'm old fashioned & these are still 'Phacops' to me.

Location (approximate): Paulding, Paulding, OH

Strat unit: Silica formation

Submitter notes: This speciman is unusual due to the preservation & preparation from the underside which shows the Hypostome or mouth area. The thin shell is translucent in this view. Crassi's have 84 eye facets as opposed to 104 in the milleri species of this Devonian trilobite.
