Animal 12-15mm, found under log on Black Mountain by Ned Johnston. Primitive insect perhaps, maybe a type of silverfish?

The correct spelling of the family name is Meinertellidae (my mistake), but I can't seem to be able to change it.

Name corrected. The rules for editing names seem to have changed with Aaron's new taxonomy arrangements.
