Name: Phacops rana
Geologic Age: Devonian
Formation: Silica Shale
Location: Sylvania, OhioAllow me to introduce you to "Spike".. this one is so ugly that you can't help but love it! It's really not THAT ugly.. but it's compressed in such a way that the entire middle section of the bug is compressed inward and upward creating a "Mohawk" that runs the entire length of the body! It reminds me of "Spike" from The Gremlins! There are small pyrite crystals present on him as well.. Spike measures approx. 1 9/16" wide.. what can I say... it's a really cool and unique bug!
