Ameura trilobite before and after

[Collector9658]

I collected some potentially nice Ameura trilobites this past year. I sent them to get professionally prepared and had Malcolm Thornley do the work. Both our efforts have definitely paid off!

My favorite is this almost prone bug. There is some small restoration on the back half were some shell flaked from the split. Very happy and impressed with the results.

Great work on a great specimen!

I especially like the way the resto is done: Quite visible, but not obtrusive.
