This specimen is better than averge, but not the best I've seen. The fringes of short spines on the front of the free cheeks, a common feature on Odontopleurids, are easily seen. The short spines with cross spines are also very visible. In other Odontopleurids such as Koneprusia and Ceratonurus the short spines with cross spines point downward, so I presume that in the living Miraspis mira they pointed downward as well. On this specimen you can also see long pleural spines on the right side. There is only the slightest hint of these spines on the left side. I presume the long spines pointed out or upward, as they do in Koneprusia and Ceratonurus.

Reconstructions of Miraspis mira always show a pair of occiptital spines. But on this as on nearly all other specimens they are not preserved. Nor are the eyes, which were on short stalks, preserved.
