Hi folks.

At first glance, I labeled this cephalon an Eldredgeops but it doesn't compare well with other examples in the area behind the eye where the "dimples" are. There is also a sort of "horn" projecting from the upper rear portion of the eye. Just not certain about this one. Could just be deformation ?

Then the nice size greenops pygidium. Wow, I'd love to find a complete one this size !

 

Thanks,

Regards.

I think it is eldredgeops ceph, maybe a different species though. Nice ones!

Glad to help, sorry I don't know exactly how to tell the differences between them (milleri, crassituburculata)
