Interesting to see the detail - it's all a dense mass of framboids, from the looks of it, probably forming in void spaces inside the exoskeleton. I'll look forward to having a proper look when I have time.

Aha, that one - that is going to be quite something.
We've got some catching up to do... but I've been looking at a few slabs of the Llanfawr material that we sent here, and there is a lot of small stuff that we've managed to overlook before now, largely because it's invisible when dry, and we haven't dared to wet it. There are tiny sponges everywhere, and some with what what looks like phenomenal preservation (need to book an SEM slot) including hopefully axial canal symmetry. There are also some other weird bits preserved organically - a possible chitinozoan assemblage, for example - and even a few conodonts, which we'd completely missed before.
We're going to have to go some to get things like their material, though, from the sound of it - I'm really looking forward to that paper.

Stunning specimen, that one. I am really looking forward to a detailed description of that fauna.

The specimen is from the Martin Quarry named after the founder and owner of the quarry Markus Martin and I believe there are some rare underscribe arthropods, and soft bodied critters ( I have seen them) from this fauna currently being described by Dr Derek Briggs.... paper should be out in a year or so.... according to Markus.
