Additional Information
There isn’t a lot of information available for this genus. Albertella belongs to the same Order and Family as the genus “Zacanthoides”, which exhibits similarly long genal spines. Albertella helena has a slender exoskeleton, long spines extending from the 3rd thoracic pleura, possibly additional spines on the axial rings, and a small pygidium with long spines. Charles Walcott writes about Albertella helena on Page 19 in “Walcott Cambrian Geology and Paleontology I”:
