    Very nice specimen!  A bit of nomenclatural nit-picking: Destombes originally described this species as a Flexicalymene, so his name should not be in brackets as the generic assignment has not changed.  Brackets are used to indicate the genus has changed since the original description of the species.

    Thank you Don,
    I am always grateful for hints. I have found the spelling so at Wikipedia and trilobita.de and simply copied.
