Description
Age: Middle Cambrian
Species Name: Elrathia marjumi
Order / Family: Ptychopariida / Ptychopariidae
Locality: Millard County, Utah
Formation: Marjum Formation
–
Uncommon Elrathia marjumi, measuring 3.6cm, nestled in a field of disarticulated plates from Gogia eocrinoids. E. marjumi is the uncommon cousin to the more prolific Elrathia kingii, with a small spine bulging from each side of the first segment of the pygidium defining the species. They are also typically larger than other Elrathia species. This specimen has a cranidia of another trilobite just above it, forming sort of a “high hat” aesthetic. Excellent specimen!
