la matrice présente plus de dix spécimens dans une position dynamique semblant se déplacer dans la même direction pouvant faire ainsi penser à un déplacement migratoire. Très fine conservation du test avec une très fine structure et une coloration bicolore (marron et noire). Fait rarissime, l'un des exemplaires présente l'un des rares cas de traces de prédation sur les trilobites. Il s'agirait de l'une des plus anciennes traces de prédation animale.
The mould presents more than 10 specimens in a dynamic position, seemingly traveling the same direction, reminding us of a kind of activity of migration. Very fine preservation of the test, with a very fine structure and a double-colored tint (brown and black). Extremely rare phenomenon, one of the copies presents a rare case of traces of predation on trilobites. It would be about one of the most ancient traces of animal predation.
