I found a variety of brachiopods in the Devonian Silica Shale Formation near Sylvania, Ohio, in mid-August. 

A few are a bit pyritized.

Interesting. If I may ask, were these from the Fossil Park or did you have access to somewhere else?  I only ask because I have been to the park a couple of times and don't think I ever found that much nice material.  Maybe they recently dumped new piles and/or my timing is always lousy- haha.  Thanks, just curious whether I should give it another shot next time I'm up visiting family.
