Trilobite Septimopeltis & Cyphaspis Plaque

Description

A rarer find of two unusual trilobites on a single host matrix. Septimopeltis & Cyphaspis. Septimopeltis is not a common Trilobite and to have it together with a fellow spiny Cyphaspis is also very uncommon. Fantastic detail on both, and under a magnifying lupe you can make out the tiny compound lenses of the Septimopeltis’s eyes. This is a natural assemblage (not a composite). Both the Septimopeltis and Cyphaspis has incredible detail and show quite different characteristics. The former is very hard to find.
