Wow! That is very unique! I collect septarians, but I’ve never seen a trilobite one. Cool! Thanks for sharing. 

 

Just when you thought you’ve seen just about everything imaginable something new comes along.

Here is another septarian trilobite from FB Trilobites courtesy of Gilberto Juárez Huarachi. 

For comparison I have added the similar figure of Plicatolina scalpta Harrington & Leanza1957. 

Two colleagues specializing in South American trilobites agree this is likely a new genus/species.
