Found in the lenses of Hmestone in the upper Clinton and in the 

 calcareous beds of the lower Rochester shale, as well as the Bryo- 

 zoan bed at Niagara. Often plentiful but generally in dissociated 

 plates, of which the interbrachial partition plates are most readily 

 recognized. The '' roots " are occasionally found attached to corals, 

 etc. Also represented in the middle and upper limestones at Ni- 

 agara, but generally replaced. Also in the shale at Lockport and 

 other localities (Hall).
