Rare Plumulites Annelid Feathery Worm Fossil

Description: Plumulites was a slug-like Metazoan, or, armored worm. The armoured annelid worm is the relative of the modern-day earthworm, leech and bristleworm. They have only recently been quarried and brought to the fossil market place. Generally, the preservation of the fossils is sketchy and poor, as they were soft-bodied. This particular specimen is well preserved presenting a bright rust/orange color displaying excellent detail of the feathery appendages. The spinal cord is clearly evident. This year at the 2014 show I was lucky to procure five exceptionally large specimens. Averaging over five times the length of the ones I acquired last year.
