Changaspis elongata - recent Ebay acquisition.
An example of the Chinese Early Cambrian trilobite, Changaspis elongata.
I recently purchased this on Ebay - was a great deal, and I really like spiny trilos.
Couldn't pass it up.
There are 9 trilobites or imprints visible on the matrix - (Mostly complete) many of which appear to be a different species, Arthricocephalus chauveaui. (perhaps meraspid forms of Arthricocephalus.)
Although they are tiny, they are cool looking, ...at least to me.
