Here is a nice showcase piece with two trilobites of the species Sthenarocalymene celebra from the Cedarville dolomite. Trilobites from Cedarville Dolobite are characterized by their special sparkling preservation. Due to the late diagenetic remineralization of the matrix, the internal moulds are covered with fine dolomite crystals. This gives the trilobites their unique shiny and glittering preservation. | |||||||
