    I purchased this from Matt Heaton, who to the best of his recollection got it from Dan Cooper.

     

    It was sold as Bellacartwrightia whiteleyi, but that species apparently doesn't come from the Windom Shale.

    @rew this is undescribed Bellacartwrightia that @DevonianDigger and @GerryK are working on classifying. These are really beautiful. A great purchase as these are very rare.
