          |  Description:
                In 2010 a new undescribed Harpid was seen for the first time.
                This one was found earlier this year, and is the first double
                example I have come across. I have included a photograph of it
                in the as found state. Once a specimen such as this has been
                discovered by breaking open a matrix slab, the pieces are glued
                together
                and carefully prepared to free the specimens from the entombing
                matrix. The brick-red/orange color is typical for material from
                the Fezouata Formation. See my other offerings for a single Harpides              specimen.
