Just caught wind of this beautiful specimen on reddit. Knew I had to share here immediately. Here's the pic as shared over there.



Here's another article on it:

This year has been really good for prehistoric invertebrates I dare say.

Wow that's beautifully preserved indeed!

Truly an exceptional fossil. Thanks, this one had passed me by.

That's a very cool fossil. Just another in the large pile of fodder PNSO has available if they ever decide to venture into the Paleozoic in earnest.

I don't seem to have access to the paper either, and it seems like new stuff isn't making it to Sci-Hub anymore.

[Faelrin]

@Halichoeres Ah that's unfortunate, but at least we have a decent image of that specimen to take a look at. There's also been a little bit of a write up over on the wikipedia article as well, which has some info from the paper at least.

it's like someone laid the animal on a photocopier and scanned it.   Amazing.  What caused the red colour?
