Angelina sedgwicki TrilobiteDescription: Angelina sedgwicki was named for the Revd. Adam Sedgwick, the 19th Century Cambridge geologist who coined the term "Cambrian". This is one of the classic trilobite species found at this location, which has been collected for well over 100 years.

This specimen is large and black, well defined against the dark gray heavy and thick matrix plate. It was cracked and re-glued. There are a few obvious preservation problems with the glabella, the cracked and un-repaired cephalon and missing tip of the left genal spine.
