ScottBlooded Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Cephalon partial from the needmore near winchester VA, middle Devonian. Looked familiar so I looked it up in the book I remembered it from and it lists it as unidentified, but resembling Lichas. As I was looking at it I noticed below it an illustration that looked just like a couple of tiny partials (pygidiums) I had saved from the same spot. Book lists these as unidentified too, but was published in 1991 so I was wondering if anyone here had any ideas. I’ve found a lot of damaged cephalon partials like this out there so if I know what the rest of the bug looks like, I can maybe keep myself from getting confused if I run into it while looking for something else out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBlooded Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 These are two pygidiums plus their casts. I also see that coral there but I’m ignoring him. He knows what he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
