In Ordovician time, the shallow sea that covered much of what is now the North American continent teemed with marine life. The Cincinnati area has yielded some of the world's most abundant and best-preserved fossils of invertebrate animals such as trilobites, bryozoans, brachiopods, molluscs, echinode 410 0$aLife of the past. 606 $aFossils$zOhio$zCincinnati Region 606 $aPaleontology$yOrdovician 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFossils 615 0$aPaleontology 676 $a560/.17310977178 700 $aMeyer$b David L$0879793 701 $aDavis$b R.
