Commonly refereed to as the "Stovepipe" trilobite for it's high reaching cephalic (head) spine. This is an incredibly unusual matrix specimen from the quarries at Mt. Issoumour where at least 4 trilobites were swelled up in a tempest and were deposited, then fossilized together - known as a mass mortality scene. A very unique and displayable specimen for any collection.
