Trilobites Vireux France

[CharlotteG]

Hello, I recently accuired these French trilobites from an old collection. They are ID’ed as Phacops latifrons from the lower devonian of Vireux France. Doing some research I suspect that they aren’t called that way anymore. Can someone assist me with the correct name? Thanks!

Nice. 

I believe Phacops latifrons is still valid but is a Middle Devonian (Eifelian) species.

If this is Lower Devonian, then I don't know, but I think this might be Geesops sparsinodisus gallicus which is found in the Middle Devonian, also Eifelian of Vireux. 

@piranha will probably know better than I.

Seems to be Geesops sparsinodosus gallicus
