Trilobite from kinnekulle

Found this pretty big pygdium of a trilo in kinnekulle. What species is it? Its around 6-7 cm and if u can see it as a long crack running down the middle. ( found it like that ) should i use some cyanoacrylate to fix the cracks and them remove the leftovers with some acetone? How careful do i then need to be?

You could use cyanoacrylate. But it's hard and not really reversible.

 

Paraloid B-72 might be better for your purposes.

Oh ok where do i get that. I have used cyanoacrylate on a few other fossils but can i still wipe the leftovers with acetone?

Once it's hardened, cyanoacrylate will not dissolve using acetone.

Weird some people told me that i think /:
