Products description

This is a fossil brachiopod colony of the Lower Cambrian of Chengjiang. The brachiopods belong to the species Diandongia pista.  The reddish stripes are probably a hard ground which the brachiopods inhabited. It could be a soft sponge.  The fossil brachiopods themselves measure about 5 mm.  This is a interesting piece from the Chengjiang Biota.
