NevadiaDescription: Well-preserved example of a member of the Order Redlichiida, Family Nevadiidae, with detailed spines, a feature often not preserved intact. This one is a large, well-preserved positive example. There are 8 members of this genus, one of which appeared shortly after the disappearance of the fallotaspids. Few are offered, with this one available at an affordable price. The repaired crack does little to detract from such an uncommon specimen.
