Found in the Clinton limestone lenses in great abundance, usually represented only by cephala and pygidia. These Fig. 154 luaenus ioxus are often crowded together in great profusion to the exclusion of nearly every other fossil. Also found rarely in the lower and middle Roches- ter shale at Niagara.
