Caption

Neotype of Palaeocampa anthrax from the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte and rediscovered in the Invertebrate Paleontology collection of the MCZ.  The faint red and blue grid lines from a wax pencil can still be seen across the specimen, made by the nineteenth century artist Katherine Pierson who illustrated this specimen for Samuel Scudder in 1884.
