    Curled Dipleura dekayi sitting on a slab with an enrolled Eldredgeops rana. 

    Apparently, the Eldredgeops was added to this Dipleura to create this "association" piece.

    Funny, I just found some Devonian fossils.  I might have found an imprint part of a trilobite.  Will have to look at my rock collections but many bivalves and corals though!
