Help identifying ?

[Samaries]

 I found this at my Grandfather's Farm right after They had A Excavator there that they were using to create a one acre pond. 

It's located in   southwestern  Ohio.

There were lots  of other fossils In that area as well, I've just never seen any that resemble a frog head  quite like that.

I would love to have some information about it.

If anybody could help that would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks!

It is a trilobite. If you show more photos at different angles, someone will be able to give you the species name.

I agree, Trilobite. With more pictures we could determine the exact species.

Looks like an enrolled Isotelus sp. trilobite.

I agree, that more photos  (Front, back, top, bottom, right side, left side)  would help us narrow down a species.

The trilobite Eldredgeops rana actually borrows its name from a genus of frog.

It’s often called Kermit the Frog

It's an isotelus! That's a great find!

That is one that I  found near where you found that one.

Kermitops gratus Perfect!

I did take a few more pictures. Hopefully, these will help identify it better. And I can come to a conclusion on what it exactly is.

Took off value question

A number of members here have already suggested to you what it is and I agree with them. It is definitely the cephalon (head) from an enrolled Isotelus sp. trilobite with a bit of the pygidium (tail) underneath. The rest of it is broken off. See last photo.

@Ludwigia, I think she was just posting more pictures because she was asked to, in order to determine species.  I know nothing about trilobites, but am I correct in assuming that a species cannot be determined since so much of it is missing?  I just want to clarify for the OP if Isotelus sp. is as far as we can get.  Thank you!

Yes, I know that's why she did. I just wanted to help her with the id in confirming for her that the trilobite is definitely the genus Isotelus sp. I can't go any further with a species since this is just a partial and we don't know exactly which horizon or zone it originates from. We would also need a pinpoint location in order to at least determine whether it's from the Middle or Upper Ordovician Epoch. But maybe someone else like @piranha could still take an educated guess, although Wikipedia alone names 13 different species. Paleobiology Database 20. Mindat even has 27 listed.
