Vendor: Gold Bugs

SKU Number: SQ0070376

A rare comb jellyfish Ctenorhabdotus campinelliformis, Middle Cambrian, Marjum Formation, Millard County, Utah.

Ctenorhabdotus campinelliformis is the rarer of the two main species.  This specimen measures 2.1 cm and is amazingly detailed, even having the small bulb known as the apical capsule that houses the polar fields intact.  The Jelly is nicely striated with the base opening clearly seen.  It's overall outstretched, slender pose suggests it was exhaling water, or at least trying to when it was rapidly buried.  When inhaling these appear slightly plumper.

Full dimensions are listed below.
