Devil Horned Cyphaspis & Metacanthina? Trilobites - Mrakib, Morocco
This is a nice 1.35" long (including) spine "devil horned" Cyphaspis walteri trilobite associated with what I believe is a species of Metacanthina. Both trilobites are nicely prepared and have excellent shell preservation.
This species of Cyphaspis was formally described in 2014. A link to the paper can be found below.
