This is a very rare Lower cambrian fossil. It is a large Camptostroma roddyi slab from York County, Pennsylvania. Camptostromas are one of the earliest known types of echinoderms. Found in the Lower Cambrian, these enigmatic, Medusa-like animals had a distinct plate structure and an unusual orange-brown coloration in the Kinzers shale. There is a distinct pair of very nice specimens in the center of this huge plate of shale. The fossils have great detail and fabulous color preserved, which contrasts beautifully with the dull-colored matrix. The tiny, distinct plates are easily seen under magnification, and the distinct radial designs are also quite evident. There are also other Camptostromas and a partial Wanneria trilobite at the bottom of the slab. This is an amazing multiple example of this unusual Lower Cambrian echinoderm from Pennsylvania.
