Terataspis grandis is a species of lichid trilobite from Devonian rocks in what is now New York State. It is known primarily from incomplete remains, including unusually large portions of the exoskeleton, so estimates of its full body length are necessarily uncertain. Reconstructions based on those...
Why this score
Potentially giant Devonian lichid with legendary size estimates; high scientific and collector interest despite fragmentary evidence.

Terataspis is a genus of lichid trilobite known from Devonian rocks in North America, especially from incomplete exoskeletal remains. Like other lichids, it possessed a strongly ornamented calcified exoskeleton, with prominent spines extending from parts of the head, thorax, and tail shield. Reconst...
Why this score
Huge spiny Devonian lichid reputation and striking fragments support high status; incomplete material limits certainty and display consistency.

Ceratarges is an extinct genus of lichid trilobites that lived during the Devonian period, with fossils commonly found in Europe and North Africa, particularly Morocco. It is recognized among paleontologists and collectors for its highly elaborate, multi-pronged spines extending from its cephalon an...
Radiaspis is an extinct genus of lichid trilobites that lived during the Devonian period. Fossils of this marine arthropod are commonly recovered from ancient reef deposits in Morocco, where they are often preserved in limestone. The genus is distinguished by an elaborate, ornate exoskeleton featuri...
Acanthopyge is an extinct genus of spiny lichid trilobite that lived primarily during the Devonian period. It is easily distinguished from other trilobites by its highly elaborate, heavily spinosed exoskeleton, featuring prominent spines along the thoracic segments and the marginal cephalon. Paleont...
Thysanopeltis is an extinct genus of trilobite within the order Lichida that lived during the Middle Devonian period. It is characterized by its highly ornate exoskeleton, specifically its broad, fringed pygidial border featuring distinct marginal spines. Fossils of this marine arthropod are commonl...
Lichas is a trilobite genus ranging from the Ordovician to the Devonian and serves as the type genus of the order Lichida. Members are recognized for a strongly sculpted exoskeleton, numerous tubercles, and a complex glabella that gives the cephalon a highly ornamented appearance. The genus is suite...
