Flexicalymene Trilobite Tail

Here is a possible Flexicalymene trilobite tail found in Trimble County, Kentucky. I think the rock I was looking in had Ordovician fossils in it.

There appears to be a piece of bryozoan in the rock as well.

It was found during a KYANA field trip in May 2008. It is about 4 cm in length. Also the genus is now known as Paupospira.
