Formally Described By:Redlichia described by Cossmann in 1902
Notable: Known from the famous Emu Bay Shale Lagerstätte, globally recognised for its exceptional soft-tissue preservation and significance in early animal evolution studies
Morphology Features:
Large, elongate trilobite with a well-developed cephalon (head shield)
Crescent-shaped eyes and prominent genal spines
Thorax with numerous segments and strong axial lobes
Pygidium (tail) small relative to thorax
Known for occasional preservation of soft tissues and gut traces
Geological Context:
The Emu Bay Shale of Kangaroo Island is Australia’s only Konservat-Lagerstätte of Cambrian age, providing an extraordinary window into early marine ecosystems. Redlichia trilobites are among the most iconic and well-researched species from this site, representing a critical part of the early Cambrian evolutionary radiation often referred to as the “Cambrian Explosion.”
Why This Fossil is Special:
Sourced from a world-famous fossil site with scientific importance
Displays anatomical detail typical of Redlichiids from the Emu Bay Shale
Excellent specimen for collectors, educational use, or palaeontological reference
Product Details:
The exact specimen photographed is the one you will receive
Scale cube = 1cm — please refer to the images for full sizing
Includes Certificate of Authenticity
Carefully packaged for safe delivery
Our Promise:
All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. We guarantee the fossil’s provenance and quality as part of our carefully curated collection. Ideal for academic study, private collections, or museum display.

Cambrian Information
The Cambrian Period (541–485 million years ago) was the first period of the Paleozoic Era, marking a dramatic explosion of life known as the Cambrian Explosion. During this time, complex multicellular organisms rapidly diversified, giving rise to the first arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, and chordates—early ancestors of vertebrates. The climate was generally warm, with high sea levels covering much of the continents, creating vast shallow seas where life thrived. Iconic creatures such as Trilobites, Anomalocaris, and Opabinia dominated the oceans, while the first primitive reefs formed. The Cambrian set the stage for the evolution of modern animal groups and the complexity of marine ecosystems.
