I wrapped up the prep on this nice Huntoniatonia this weekend. This Black Cat Mountain matrix preps like a dream when slightly weathered and a nightmare as you go deeper. This bug was not only broken (just barely) but drops into the matrix on 2 planes! All in, it only took about 12 hours to complete. I’m estimating here as this was part of a larger lot, so time was tracked for the project overall rather than by individual pieces.

As found, both Leon Theissen and I thought it looked perfect... What started out promising, alas was not to be. Tail spine - check, thorax points - check, caphalon - MIA

I recently purchased another Huntonia oklahomae trilobite and am very pleased with it. However it does not have detailed eyes, I knew this when I purchased it but further inspection leads me to believe that the eyes are intact but have simply not been fully prepped. I am curious would it be possible to have the eyes professionally prepped to reveal the eye facets? If so what would be the risk of damaging the trilobite and approximately how much would it cost? Here is a picture, the trilobite does seem to be coated in some sort of clear coating, not sure if that makes a difference.
