Description:
Presented is an uncommon Calymene breviceps from the Waldron
Shale. The specimen is fully prone, 3D, and nicely preserved.
This
fossil comes from the George Lee Collection of Southern California.
Mr. Lee accumulated a virtual where house of fossils over thirty-five
years of self-collecting and purchasing. Most of the fossils were
acquired during the 1960s through the mid 1990s. Unfortunately,
for we collectors, many of these sites and areas are no longer
available for collecting. Therefore, many of my offerings are of
special importance, as they are now rarely available to the public.
Since Mr. Lee’s death, a few years ago, the collection has
slowly been liquidated. This fossil came from one of the last available
batches sold.
