|  Description:
In 2010 a new undescribed Harpid was seen for the first time.
This one was found earlier this year, and is the first double
example I have come across. I have included a photograph of it
in the as found state. Once a specimen such as this has been
discovered by breaking open a matrix slab, the pieces are glued
together
and carefully prepared to free the specimens from the entombing
matrix. The brick-red/orange color is typical for material from
the Fezouata Formation. See my other offerings for a single Harpides specimen.
