Strat unit: Silica formation

Submitter notes: There are four species of these large 'shrimp-like' animals in the Silica formation. This is an unusual picture as it shows this species from the top with both lateral plates, the axial ridge and prora with the rostrum broken off. This type of preservation is rare, normally only one of the lateral plates shows with the animal on its side. These show incredible iridescent colors when wet and just exposed but turn dull when dry.
