Eldredgeops #1a

What a beauty.

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:

Great photo & beautiful specimen!

Another beauty of a fossil Dan... nice sharp photo.

Harry you are absolutely correct on the ID! I must have been sleeping when I tpyed in the name!! As you can see I have made the correction. Thanks again Harry!

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>

Very nice picture!
