Wanneria! Wanneria! Wanneria!
Playing in the Cambrian bedding in various locations these past few years...logging over 700 hours now... It's quite possible I have figured out the "orogenic" shifts in how this Kinzers rock is displayed, now, 515 million years later. Wannerias are being found... This one on a plate of three more mostly complete. The upper one is a beautiful deep-red 3 1/2 incher just found in East Petersburg Pa. Middle one is 3-incher...contact silverfordinc@yahoo.com
