Association Slab AS1
				Era: Paleozoic     Epoch: Ordovician     Age: 425 ~ 500 Million Years Old     Name: Association Slab AS1     Species: Trilobite Molts:                   Cryptolithus                   Teesellatus                   Flexicalymene Meeki      also present:                   Bryozoans                   Crinoids                    Merocrinus     Location: Kope Formation                     Cincinatti, Oh. USA     At first site these association slabs apear nothing more than a  piece of thin rock with a few shells and other items in them. But after I got them under some good daylight with a magnifying glass, I was amazed in the amount of various ancient lifeforms you can discover. This is actually a piece of the bottom of an ancient sea floor that is frozen in time. It contains hundreds of pieces of trilobite molts (they molted as they grew, much as crabs do), Crinoid sections, and other life forms I have no clue what they were.    I tried to scan some close ups and post them below so you can see more detail.
