    Description

    Name:   Flexicalymene meeki (NOT F. retrorsa!)
    Age:  Upper Ordovician
    Formation:  Richmond Formation
    Location:  Monroe, Ohio
    Size:  Trilobite is 1.65 inches long!
    This is a rare, outstretched example of Flexicalymene meeki from the Ordovician of Ohio. This specimen was found years ago in Monroe, Ohio, and just now prepared.
    This is not the more common Flexicalymene retrorsa, it is a true Flexicalymene meeki!
    This trilobite is large for a Flexi and extremely inflated and beautifully articulated. The thick-shelled exoskeleton of the bug is very complete, and the free cheeks are intact and easily seen. The dark brown trilobite contrasts beautifully with the blue-grey matrix. The finely detailed bug is well showcased on the very large, natural block of shale - what a cool display! This is a top quality example of Flexicalymene meeki from this nearly-forgotten locality.
