This is a very rare fossil. It is a detailed Camptostroma roddyi from York County, Pennsylvania. Camptostromas are one of the earliest known types of echinoderms. Found in the Lower Cambrian, these rare, Medusa-like animals had a distinct plate structure and an unusual orange-brown coloration in the Kinzers shale. This enigmatic fossil has great detail preserved and contrasts well with the lighter-colored matrix. The tiny, distinct plates are easily seen under magnification, and the radial design is also quite evident. This is a very fine example of this unusual Lower Cambrian echinoderm from Pennsylvania.
