AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Maotianshania is an extinct genus of palaeoscolecidomorph worm from the Early Cambrian Chengjiang Biota of China.
Traditionally regarded as a stem-group priapulid, its exact evolutionary position remains debated, and some studies consider palaeoscolecidomorphs a distinct early ecdysozoan lineage.
This plate preserves one complete specimen with stunning details and incredible preservation:
Its last meal can still be seen, as the dark trail down the middle of the specimen.
Matrix is 55 x 33 mm.

Seller's Story
I, Don, started fossil hunting in 1987, going from a passionate collector to a professional preparator and researcher. In all these years I have traveled searching for fossils in many parts of the world.
Our fossils are present in private collections in the United States, Singapore, Taiwan, as well as in prestigious museums in the Uk, China and Japan.
Quality in the preparation of the material and seriousness in managing the shipment in the best possible way distinguish us.
