Cor blimey. That's an impressive fossil and a half... Chengjiang stuff is really rather nice, if illegal to export from China...  I'm seriously impressed by how 3D it is - and there is a lot of detail in those tergites, assuming it's not a tectonic fabric in the rock. |

Ah, one of *them*...  Was it by any chance made by a Mr. Li? If so, I met him the other day - I know he does replicas like this, and is moving to the US. |

Yes, J. Lee .... he supplies the local museum with their Chengjiang material and has his own display at the museum as well.....

Glad you're supporting him - he seemed like a really nice guy. For anyone else interested, here's his website: gejunlee.blog.163.com/album/#m=1&aid=27038505&p=1Some of them are really quite convincing... although I'm not so sure about the 3D Microdictyon...  |
