Here's something I found a few months ago. There are lots of bits of brachiopods which seem to have been preserved in their original perfect shape instead of the casts I usually find. It's what's on top of them that interests me. It looks like it could be a trilobite cephalon, if that's the case then the closest match I could find was Ceraurinus sp. I'm pretty sure I saw something to do with a crinoid that looked similar though I haven't been able to find it again. Any other ideas?

By the way, that is limestone, not chert.
