The Behrendt Collection - some fine fossils, prepped by Marc 
(Just for looking, not for selling)
 


Specimen: Carpoid - Castericystis vali
Location: House Range, Utah
Period: Cambrian

The carpoid layer in the Marjum shale is just that, a layer.  If the collector splits the rock too high or too low, the specimens may be missed.  Yet if the exact carpoid layer is exactly split, the specimens often disintigrate!   It takes a bit of luck to get a true museum class specimen!
