A few questions about a trilobite I found today

I found this trilobite today and hope to prep it, or possibly have it prepped. I have no clue where to start so I  am wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions/advice. Also do people in the Cincinnati area do such work? If so how much would something like that run in price?

If you are looking for a preparator, I would request that they message you by DM per forum rules. You could also look around online, there are a few services available in the USA.

 

You could also use hand tools like a pin vise, razor blades, and needles to do careful preparation and detail work on the piece. I use these and have also seen other members use these tools and achieve some really great results. This method will take more time and patience compared to using pneumatic tools. Magnification is also recommended. Air tools like an air scribe and abbraider could clean this up much faster.
