This is an unnamed species of a trilobite commonly found in Spain (Andalusia region). It appears that Spain and nearby Morocco are countries which was home to large trilobites from many different time periods. Several species of Cambrian and Devonian trilobites found there measure over 10 cm (4 in) long, with one species of Paradoxides that grew up to 50 cm long.
