An extremely rare Bolbolenellus euryparia. Bolbolenellus specimens are generally very poorly preserved and very rare. There are 2 Bolbolenellus specimens, the Bolbolenellus brevispina and the Bolbolenellus euryparia. The B. euryparia is by far the rarest with less than a hand full complete ones ever found. These trilobites may have had a less robust exoskeleton with poor preservation potential as in most cases only the (partial) cephalon is found.
