Description from the seller

Beautiful rare specimen of Kettneraspis.
Kettneraspis is a genus of trilobites (extinct prehistoric crustaceans) known for its distinctive and imposing spiny armor that extends from both sides of the body. These arthropods lived from the Silurian to the Devonian worldwide, including North America, Europe, South America, and Australia. The genus is often confused with the similar genus Leonaspis, and both species are recognized for their spines and unusual appearance, which is thought to have served as defense against predators.
