Angelina sedgwickii trilobiteWhile perhaps not as famous as that “other” Angelina, this is a highly-desirable specimen in its own right. The species derives its name from Rev. Adam Sedgwick, coiner of the term Cambrian. Most trilobites from the region are quite distorted by geological forces, but this one is quite 3-D in preservation with intact genal spines. Specimens of this caliber are hard to find, with this one from the type locality.
