Geologic Age: Middle Ordovician
Stratigraphic detail: Asery Level formation

Comments: I'm not exactly certain what species this bug is.. I bought it as a Latus.. but on examination, it has a much more bulbous, protruding "nose" than any other Latus (or other Asaphid) that I've seen.  Possibly a NEW Species?  Or just a species variation?  I don't think that the Russian preparators had any idea either.. there are about 4 names scratched on the underside of the matrix.  I have no clue...  but it's different!
