Wenlock Series lagerstätte
The Silurian lagerstätte preserved in the limestone Wenlock Series of Herefordshire, UK, offers paleontologists a rare snapshot of a moment in time, about 420 Mya. The soft-bodied animals and delicate, lightly-sclerotized chitinous shells are often preserved in three dimensions, as calcitic fossilizations within calcareous nodules.
