Today, we have a gorgeous trilobite from long-time ESCONI member Jann Bergsten. This is a Calymene celebra from the Silurian deposits around Chicago. Thanks for sharing, Jann! It really is a beautiful specimen!
This first photo shows what was exposed after taking a few whacks at the rock.
After seeing the exposted pygidium and thorax, Jann had the trilobite prepared out and here are the stunning results.
