Description: | A section of thorax and a genal spine probably from a Dalmanite sp. trilobite measuring (25mm x 21mm x 2mm) which is dark grey in colour. Preserved in a pale brown micrite matrix slab (42mm x 30mm x 17mm) containing brachiopod and crinoid fragments. The specimen is well fractured and has a bryozoan on its ribs. The genal spine is broken and fractured, but has a finely pitted texture. The number 8C has been written on the base of the matrix in black ink. This indicates that this specimen was collected from Steven Birchs locality 8C (GR SO 9390 9160) which is within the Coalbrookdale Formation. This specimen was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. CB
