From an old collection we got this strange Trilobite. I think it was found and imported to Germany around 1980 - 1985. Should come from Yunnan-Province in China (I only know it comes from china, did some research in the net and think it is a Yunnan-one). Lenght is around 18 cm (7"). Has short spines at the end of the pleural segments. The cephalon has been badly prepared, surface is a bit destroyed but the rim fits. Pygidum looks rounded, but under a microscope I could see, the end is not prepped and under the surface. Will do the work on it next time... What do you think about the genus? Before I start the prep-work I love to know if it has spiny ends, Looks not easy to prep... thanks for comments!

There is a Vetulicola (partial) somewhere on this piece, I have been looking at it for awhile but I can't really spot where it is on here, anyone more familiar with Chengjiang fossils able to spot it or id for sure as vetulicola?
