Hi Steve: Have not really counted as there is more going into the rock several carapace and at least 2 telsons... specimens are disarticulated but appear oriented due to current flows during deposition.... the first photo shows the corner that lifted showing a trail of phyllocarid parts going into the main rock... It appears to be in 2 horizons separated by an inch ..... the plate is fragile when I hit it with the hammer breaking into multiple fragments which then revealed the phyllocarid cluster... it was a chance event ie accidental find.

Peter.... Excellent... Intresting about the directional deposition related to current flow.... '' accidental find ''... I concur... I 'trip' over most of mine to although its nice to think you know what doing  ... |

You're both inspiring me to get the house disruptions under control and at least try to get some photos of my (unprepped) (probably run of the mill) (fragmented) treasures. :-)

Once the loft is insulated and I have surfaces again, I'll go back to trying to work out the ageing issues. I have a tripod to stabilise the camera but also bought a cheap webcam microscope so I can see what I'm looking at on the monitor.  Haven't tried that software yet... Looking at your photos of apparatus, Peter, I feel a little silly. :-) |

Don't be intimidated by the equipment Reighan... it is more operator skill .... any system can be learned : )
