Neodrepanura is a well known genus, generally found as disarticulated pieces of pygidium and cephalon etc.
Although first described in 1899 the first complete specimen was not discovered until 2010. This is an opportunity for the specialist collector to obtain an extremely rare specimen of a classic Chinese Cambrian trilobite.

Additional Information
The Genus Neodrepanura is a member of the Order: Odontopleurida, although it appears to also be closely related to trilobites of the Lichida Order. Some studies have suggested that Odontopleurids of the Middle Cambrian may possibly be transitional to the Upper Cambrian Lichids. This order is well known for trilobites with tubercles with long spines and nodes.
