Bargain "Devil Horned" Cyphaspis Walteri Trilobite Cluster
This is a cluster of three, spiny Cyphaspis walteri trilobites collected from the Bou Dib Formation near Mrakib, Morocco. This species is sometimes referred to as the "Devil Horn" Cyphaspis for obvious reasons. The largest trilobite is about 1.65" long including its spines. The preparation on this piece is pretty rough, hence the bargain price.
This species was finally formally described in 2014. A link to the paper can be found below.
