Ordovician Flexicalymene Pygidiums

Yesterday, KYANA Geological Society stopped by Carroll County, Kentucky for some Ordovician siteseeing after a marvelous tour of the Cincinnati Museum Grier Collections Center fossil department. I took a lot of pictures of specimens to post! Here is a sample of Flexicalymene trilobite pygidium pieces I found on the roadcut. I think we were in the Kope Formation of the Ordovician Period.

This first piece is of an enrolled Flexicalymene with a damaged cephalon and pygidium.
