Description

A large, grey, fossiliferous stone has an almost complete trilobite on one side near the centre while the other side has several, different fossils. The side, with the complete trilobite, is smooth near the top, has crack lines, and is broken near the edges, where several fossils are visible. The other side is flatter and has several fossils: brachipods; partial trilobites; and a nautiloid. The brachipods are mostly intact and the white shell is still there. Some of the partial trilobites are a brown and black colour. A section near the edge of the rock has turned black, but the majority of the is grey.
