This is a rare Cambrian association piece. It is a slab with an Elrathia kingi and two sponges from Utah. It is very unusual to find a trilobite and sponges on the same rock! Vauxia(?) is a type of sponge that branches, and is also found in the Burgess Shale. This plate was found in the Wheeler "U-Dig" site, which also makes this piece quite unusual. This is an excellent example of two very different organisms from the Cambrian Seas.
