This is a very interesting fossil. It is a split pair Hyolithes cecrops from the Middle Cambrian of Utah. This organism has remained an enigma since the beginning of modern scientific description. Authorities are unsure of where it belongs in a classification of the invertebrates. It may be related to mollusks but in a separate phylum. Hyolithids have also been found in the famous Burgess Shale. This specimen is nicely preserved and exhibits fine detail. The conical shape of the organism is beautifully displayed, and the textured pattern is quite evident. The fossil has great natural color and contrast and is almost perfectly centered on both of the rectangular plates of shale. This is a very collectible split pair example of this problematic fossil
