Wow, I couldn’t help noticing that the epithet is Abertella carlsoni and you purchased it from Rob Carlson. Would this be a paratype? I assume the holotype is in a museum.

Hi @patrick-hsieh, Rob was selling several of these at the Fossil Fest in Tampa. It was pretty cool to acquire this specimen from the person which the species was named after. I doubt this would be a paratype as the paratype and holotype mentioned in the paper are in the Florida Museum of Natural History’s collection.

@charlie-smith What a cool fossil nonetheless, thanks for sharing!
