|  This
plaque displays a complete example of a trilobite of the Order Ptychopariida,
known as Modocia weeksensis. It is easy to see where the species
derives its name. They are typically found missing the genals, and
as such are mostly molts. This specimen is well-inflated with tightly-attached
genals.
