Sorry my bad. Should have thrown a quarter on the pic. Specimens are 1 - 2 inches. 5 years of collecting and about 500 hours of field time excluding prep. Tributaries throughout northern Ohio is all I can tell you. LOTS of work and time!

Wow! 

Excellent! :)

Any chance of some close ups, please? 

And a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco.

Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.

Wow that's a very impressive collection. Being from northern Ohio I assume those are Devonian and/or Carboniferous in age. Phyllocarids are a personal favorite of mine, ever since I found my first one in 2014 and had no idea what it was. After that I was finding them with some frequency at Deep Springs Road quarry near Hamilton, NY., Middle Devonian Age. Since then finds have gotten rarer. Last one I found, a Rhinocarid was about a year ago. That small one with the tail is especially impressive. I would also love to see more close up shots. Oh, and by the way, welcome to the Fossil Forum.

Nice bugs ye got there! 

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

@mikeymigthe top "unidentified phyllocarid" looks like Rhinocaris sp.??? The bottom ridges are distinctive

More then likely its a species of Ceratiocaris. Some people don't realize how rare these are when compared to trilobites and other extinct arthropods.

Yikes! Usually you don't see more than one Phyllocarid at a time... you've got a bunch! But obviously it's the cumulative result of a lot of collecting time/work.

Welcome to TFF.

Welcome to the Forum from North Georgia.  That is a very impressive collection of phyllocarids, especially considering their rarity.

Welcome from Colorado! Nice collection! I really like the screw shaped tails. It looks like they would be tough to clean matrix from.

mcgcsp, from the look of your collection, are these found in nodules or are they just prepped out that way?
