Elrathia kingii double specimen


debivort

Composite of two views of the same fossil. The top trilobite on the left specimen, which was preserved "upside-down," came loose in the prep and the right image is the view of its dorsal side. The specimen also appears to show a partial enrollment morphology where the pygidium is folded up over the ventral side of the animal, as visible on the left. This is apparently interpreted as part of the limp body of the dead animal folding over in flowing water. Collected at A New Dig Quarry and prepped with a steel brush on a rotary tool.
