"Devil Horned" Cyphaspis Walteri Trilobite Multiple
Here is nice multiple specimen of the Devonian trilobite Cyphaspis walteri sometimes referred to as the "Devil Horn" Cyphaspis. There are three complete specimens on the piece, all nicely preserved and prepared with free-standing spines. Only restoration is some minor touchups along repaired cracks.
This species was finally formally described in 2014. A link to the paper can be found below.

About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
