Here is a good specimen of a soft body arthropod or Trilobitomorph of the genus Naraoia.This Naraoia has the head partially fliped under. Anyway it is an inexpensive example of a detailed soft body fossil from the Chengjiang Lagerstatte. And it shows the typical spines of the species Naraoia spinosa.The term “Trilobitomorph* (sesu Størmer) is actually outdated but still descries the systematic controversy of this group its closer relation to the class of Trilobita.

Chengjiang, eastern Yunnan Province, South China
Size trilobite:
about 10 mm long
Age:
Lower Cambrian, Heilinpu Fm., Yu'anshan Member, (about. 522 Mill. y.o.)
