Extract

Some years ago I received a fossil preserved in pyrites from the Gaskohle at Nyřan. No details could be seen under the microscope, and I was not sure if it were a Limulus or a seed. At an exhibition by Architects held last year at Prague I saw a specimen of a similar fossil with two of its appendages preserved, and I was fortunate enough to acquire the same for our Museum. I then reexamined all my material previously collected, and found appendages in other specimens also.
