Abstract

MicroCT scans of pyritized specimen of the anomalocystitid mitrate Enoploura popei Caster, 1952 (Echinodermata: Stylophora: Anomalocystitidae) from Beecher’s Trilobite Bed (Lorraine Group, Katian, Upper Ordovician) in upstate New York (USA) with soft tissue preservation providing insight on the internal anatomy and taphonomy of stylophorans.
