Notes
This is a rare trilobite. It is undescribed, and currently put in the Iberocoryphe genus in the American Museum of Natural History trilobite gallery. This was probably a burrowing trilobite, but with distinct trilobation, genal and pleural spines, and sharp nodes along the axis of the thorax, this was not as streamlined and specialized as some of the later species in the family.
