baby Octopus or a folded trilobite?

Hey, so my first post is something that I found at the Montour Fossil Pit in the summer of 2022.  the piece is interesting as there seems to be a tentacle with suckers on one side.  I had a marine biologist friend take a look and he was uncertain.  He thought it could be a folded trilobite but he too was intrigued by what looks like suckers on that "tentacle".  I do have access to Harvard so I'll take it down there and see what they say.

Cephalon of a phacopid trilobite. The “suckers” are actually schizochroal eye lenses.
