20 mm complete arthropod in ventral view, with limbs and antennae (to 3 mm long). Weeks Formation, Millard County, Utah, USA.

Preservation of limbs in aglaspidids is exceptionally rare. Soft part preservation is in iron-rich chlorite, which was a surprise, with the brown crystalline patches being iron oxides/oxyhydroxides, likely to be goethite, plausibly a replacement of pyrite (SEM/EDAX study January 2015).
