Harry Pristis Posted May 5, 2010 Good pic of a nice bug. I guess this isn't Phacops any more. On the other hand, it's not "Eldredgia" either. From a couple of hits on a search, it appears that the genus name is Eldredgeops. Here's the listing from one site: Name: Eldredgeops milleri Age: Middle Devonian Formation: Silica Shale Location: Sylvania, Ohio Link to comment

Well, if it's any consolation, I think your genus name, "Eldredgia", is more euphonius than "Eldredgeops" ("EL.drej.ops" - give me a break!). More label changes. <grumble> Link to comment
