Description: | The pygidium (tail) of a Ogygiocarella debuchi trilobite. The fossil and the fine grained shale matrix are both dark grey in colour. The fossil is defined by a fine coating of orange iron oxide. The central thorasic lobe is raised, particularly towards the base of the pygidium. The thorassic segments radiate out from the central lobe and curve down towards the base. Around the edge of the trilobite are fine lines running up to 10mm into the specimen. AR 14/04/2010
