This is a tiny grey cast of a specimen. Large glabella, with small eyes. This particular specimen is enrolled. The head spines are rounded, and the thorax segments are also rounded. Very flat head shield. The pygidium is small, and the segments continue the patten from the thorax. There is another larger specimen from the same area as this one, but this specimen is not enrolled, and you can see all visible segments and parts of the glabella.
