Comments: Courtesy of Stew Hollingsworth "Your photograph is a form I have referred to as a "new wanneriid". This is the first trilobite genus to appear at the base of the Dyeran Stage. Lisa Bohach (1997) put this in the genus Elliptocephala. Fritz has an unpublished manuscript in which he would have created a new genus for this wanneriid."
