This is a very tiny specimen. It is enrolled and seems to have remnant of sediments within the segments of the thorax. Very prominent eyes on this trilobite compared to the rest of the order. The headshield and eyes are very bumpy compared to the very smooth segments in the thorax. This specimen was renamed after further research and is now named Eldredgeops rana.
