Description: This unusual specimen has trilobitomorph features, and has as yet not been described in the literature. It is thought to have affinities with the Burgess Shale genus Emeraldella. Notice that the pointed telson is present, a feature not always preserved with either the Trilobitomorphs or the Aglaspidids of the region. Notice too the strong segmentation evident in this part/counterpart example.
