Double Trilobite - needs prep

Jim,

On the covered trilobite is a partial pygidium, and then above it I think there is an imprint from a trilo thoracic segment.

Nice sample!

I hope it is full - but my gut instinct says this may be a moult-shred

But only some prep will say for sure! I've brought home stuff I was absolutely * sure * was going to be full (rollers especially) given the way they dipped into the matrix only to find it was yet another headless roller

I even had a "multi" with a few rollers where prep revealed some were without pygidia (I stop digging with the Dremel at that point and let others assume there is continuation in the rock  )

Do I see a third cephalon in the double?

There is a partial pygidium above, and a partial cranidium , I think, below it. 

Don't forget the tiny brach impression! I see the two pustular glabellas there. Any plans to prep that nice prone fella out?  By the looks of it, the matrix on the right side looks like it could flake right off with a dental pick.

Kane,

I do plan to prep out the lil guy, but having the time to do so is the issue.

More color patterns!
