Pseudodechenella lucasensis

And the restored areas don't even show under UV light!  Would I be a viable businessman in Morocco, Adam? @Tidgy's Dad

You certainly did an excellent job with the restoration under the given circumstances! @Peat Burns

I'm sure I could fix you up with a job down south without any problem. 

Your faking it CV is coming along very nicely.

Seriously, nice work.

I think this came out great, Tony.     

Well done, sir.

Thank you, Tim. 

 

I am not entirely happy with the genal spines. I may make a few more modifications.

Very nice job prepping this trilobite. My wife and I were at Paulding last week and managed to find two mostly complete Pseudodechenella. Unfortunately, one was only discovered after smacking the rock with a rock hammer so it is in pretty rough shape. The second one, in the picture below, is mostly complete. I have uncovered the tail since this picture was taken. Now that I am back home, we’ll see if I can clean it up some more.

Wow! Congrats!  It takes a good and patient fossil hunter to find those.  Keep us posted on the prep!

Here is a more up to date picture.  Unfortunately, looks like the right side of the head is AWOl.  I had to put  a quick splash of PVA on the head as it was a little flaky.  Ill hit it with a little air abrasion and see if that cleans it up some more.  I'm sort of new to the whole prep thing so, it is a bit of trial and error for me.  Those are cm's on the scale so it would be almost 2 cm long if fully flat.

This is the other Pseudodechenella that we found.  It is bigger, but as I mentioned, took a bit of a beating (literally).
