Name: Chancelloria pentacta
Geologic Age: Cambrian
Stratigraphic detail: Wheeler Shale formation
Location: Millard County, Utan
Comments: These were long thought to be a type of
sponge.. but while originally described as a
glass sponge, some scientists have proposed a new and extinct Phylum
Coeloscleritophora for these enigmatic animals. This Class also includes
Wiwaxiidae and other Cambrian sclerite-bearing animals, that also occur in the
famous Burgess Shale of Canada and Chengjiang of China. This has the
remains of 6 individuals on it.. 4 or which are essentially complete. I
have never seen a finer example for sale.. anywhere!!
