Exceptional "Devil Horned" Cyphaspis Trilobite Cluster
This is an exceptional cluster of five complete Cyphaspis walteri trilobites. They are all above average size for the species, four are preserved dorsally and one ventrally. All of the spines and horns have been free-stood on the trilobites. Very good prep work and one of the nicest Cypaphaspis multiple plates that I have seen.
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.
