I forgot about Ampyxina!

This example shows the right genal quite well. This was from the Past and Present store in New York.

4. Asaphida

This specimen succumbed to my clumsiness and the right eye broke. The left one was already restored, and now both are in rough quality. Oh well. There was no specific information, so I had to guess a little. Still quite a nice bug, though.

Asaphus lepidurus

Asery/Aseri level?

Right eye is restored with wood filler, and the left is with that Russian stuff that glows.

5. Asaphida

This one’s got a nice label, so I’ll post it as well. It would probably be easier to continue doing this, but I’ll type the information in as well.

6. Asaphida

This one looks kind of Illaenid-like, but that could just be me. Also, the stratigraphic unit was not stated, so I would appreciate any ideas on which formation it might be from. It’s also got some nice worm burrows on the back and a probably cheurid genal spine.

Not the best example of this species, but I picked it because of the other material surrounding it.
