Small cluster of domes

Hi everyone! This is from Needmore formation close to Wardensville, WV site. 

 

I think I've found something similar one other time long ago but have no idea what it is. 

 

I had actually seen the impression side first, which I thought was the cast of a Phacops Rana eye but when I went searching for the source I found that not to be the case. 

 

(On an unrelated side note, I swear the universe has something against me finding a trilobite with both eyes...I'm salty about the fact that all but one of my best trilobites are missing one eye!!!!)

 

Any help would be appreciated! And sorry, the toothbrush was the only thing I had for scale lol.

Agreed.

 

And, just FYI, Phacops in North America were reclassified as Eldredgeops:trilosurprise:

It may seem far fetched at first, but it does add up. It would be somewhat 'waferized' and the stromatos are delaminated, but I think that's it. :Smiling:
