Pennsylvania’s Mahatango Trilobites

[ChasingGhostsYT]

I’ve spent about a year now combing through PA’s Mahatango, attempting to collect all of the trilobite fauna present in the formation. At this point I have all but one, Odontocephalus being the only that’s eluded me thus far. A big thanks to @Dean Ruocco for showing me around and in general refining my craft man.

I may be wrong here but I do not believe I have ever seen any publication stating Odontocephalus as being found in the Mahantango formation. 

 

I assume you mean Odontocephalus aegeria which is well known from Pennsylvania. As far as I am aware they have always been found in the Onondaga Limestone. That limestone is still Devonian though is a bit older than the Mahantango.
