 Description: This piece has been prepared by some expert hands. Usually this strange  arthropod appears rarely and  split in half in a nice positive and negative but in this case the preparer acquired it   in the quarry with the stone without breaking and chose to prepare it with patience with hammer and sandblasting (see video).
 The difference in the result is more than obvious and the quality  it is far superior to the classic positive / negative. 
 The Fezouata formation or Fezouata shale contains some extraordinary fossils because the animals were quickly buried by storm deposits formed by silt and clays, favorable conditions for the conservation of soft tissues (now pyritized or altered due to a mixture of oxides and iron hydroxides, hence its orange-red color)
 The fossils belong to two intervals, Tremadocian and Floian, much less rich in fossils.
