I'm still excitedly telling everyone I know about the Trilobite Pompeii paper. Any time we learn more about the soft-tissue anatomy of trilobites is pretty cool in my book. I don't think any of the authors are on this hellsite, sadly.

Often these kinds of discoveries involve rapid mineralization immediately after burial, as in the Beecher's (pyrite), Orsten (phosphate/silica), and Walcott-Rust (calcite) deposits. But here, the preservation is physical not chemical, as soft ash formed impressions of the appendages & mouthparts.
