French trilobites ID needed!

Hello and Happy New Year to all!

Hope you all had a great time :) 


I saw these two interesting trilobite positive and negative from the Montagne Noire in France.

I would be interesting in knowing their species and if they are rare/hold any value if possible (without giving numbers of course)

Unfortunately 2 out of the 3 pictures are very poor quality. Hope you can still tell.

Number one could be some kind of Psychopyge sp. ???

Curious to know your thoughts.

Kind regards.

Psychopyge is not reported from the Devonian of Montagne Noire.  They look Ordovician, the protruding element appears to be a thoracic segment of a larger asaphid trilobite.

Another possibility for Montagne Noire is Cambrian ... Eccaparadoxides has similar long genal spines.  We will need to see clear hi-res photos to make a better determination.
