Nice! I wonder if this is actually another naraoiid, obliquely flattened? You've certainly got lots of filamentous appendages, whatever it is.

This critter was supposed to be a Leanchoilia illecebrosa but it does not look right....

I'm certainly suspicious, I've got to admit.

Never see thing like this before. Is it a 'new' trilobite? It could be a new thing.

Dinodragon... do you have any collegues that you can show these pictures to get some idea what this unknown could be...? Chengjiang is so new ..... few in the west are familiar with this unique biota.
