Ctenorhabdotus campinelliformis
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.

Armilimax pauljamisoni from the Middle Cambrian, Spence Shale, Wellsville Mtns, Box Elder Co., Utah.
Armilimax pauljamisoni is the first shell-bearing animal of its kind from the Great Basin and extends the diversity of body plans in the Spence Shale Fossil-Lagerstätte.
The morphology of Armilimax is ambiguous; it bears a seemingly U-shaped gut and, at the opposite end of its body, a shell without an apex. It has been tentatively interpreted as resembling Halkieria, but it does not contain sclerites. It is the first of its kind in the Great Basin. Only one species is known: Armilimax pauljamisoni.
Also on the piece of shale are Acrothele subsidua and Micromitra modesta, which are two genus of brachiopods. Thee are also impressions of Rusophycus, an ichnogenus of trace fossil.
