Discussion:
This specimen was not collected from the Lake Neosho Shale.
It was found on the surface at the ditch level below the exposure.
Exactly where it came from in the exposure is unknown.This specimen was found by Richard Gottfried.
This taxon is very rare at this locality. I have never found one.References:
