  Hi, @david-clark – I think you have a typo, is the species S. nasuta? I found some results searching that rather than S. nasufa. Is the family undergoing revision or does it fit into Calymenidae? I’ve gotten some conflicting results when researching it.

    Looks like I did have a typo! The formation has changed from Osgood to Massie, so I’ll change that too. I’m not aware of any revisions and I think it fits into the calymene family. I know calymene in general is in need of a massive revision.

      Yes, from what I understand Calymene is a huge garbage can of trilobites. It sounds like a big undertaking! I’ll stick with the blastoids, for now =D
      Thank you for getting this updated! If you get a chance to take another photo at some point, adding in a scale would immediate push this to ‘research grade’ so it can be searchable on iDigBio’s data portal as well. Talk to you soon, Jen
