Ordovician Cryptolithus Trilobite Fragments

These pictures show fragments of the Ordovician Period Cryptolithus trilobite found in Carroll County, Kentucky. It was found in the Kope Formation.


The U shaped collar is visible at both ends but the middle is obscured. I want air abrasive clean this fossil to try and reveal the entire cephalon (if intact). Mystery object in the left top corner could be a starfish arm.
