This creature is definitely from the middle
Cambrian -- Elrathia kingi country. Without getting
too specific, the site is somewhere between
Marjum Pass and Antelope Spring. I don't think any
Ordovician rock outcrops in the vicinity. Also, I am
no paleontologist, but segmentation looks clear to
me. -- Joe

: I'm curious why one would rule out Graptolithina?
: I see no hint of segmentation on the specimen in
question. Ordovician strata is certainly near
Marjum Pass. I concur; rare scientifically important
specimens should go to scholars for study. - John
