Description:
This unusual specimen shows 3 legs from what must have been a fairly
large arthropod. They have a strong resemblance to those thought
to belong to Sidneyia, a large arthropod better known from the Burgess
Shale (see: Briggs D.E.G., and R.A. Robison. 1984). Whatever the
case, to my knowledge these are the ONLY examples available ANYWHERE.
