Auspex Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 With your permission, for the benefit of all members, I would like to add the photograph and text from the aforementioned website: "Valloisella lievinensis from Liévin (Pas de Calais, France). This fossil has been classified in the Euproops family, but it probably belongs to a separate family. Length of the fossil 19 mm. The animal can be considered as an ancestor of the still living Limulus. It was found by Bruno Vallois (Fr) in 1986. The illustrations have been provided by Bruno Vallois." Congratulations on your discovery!
