Natural Science Forum / Biology / Paleontology / April 2004

Not really, I have a few of them around here from a stint living in
Dayton, OH.  I always assumed that they were juveniles of
Flexicalymene meeki which is found in the same outcrops although not
necessarily at the same levels.  If you are near the area, you can
probably still collect the things in float material in roadcuts from
Waynesville N along US42 for about 10 miles.  I imagine that the
roadcuts are pretty badly overgrown by now.  The trilobites aren't
common, but there are a lot of bryozoa, brachiopods, etc.  Rarely, you
will find a diminutive Isotelus as well.
