My memory suggests Devonian is about 400 M years or so
That's quite the fine specimen!
My Mom has Trilobite Fossils but none of them have the Spines. I actually have a few small ones around here somewhere too, but they are nothing special.
Cool! A pet rock that was once alive!

That is really cool! I've seen trilobite fossils that were basically flat, but nothing like this with the spines.

I have one fossil, an Ammonite, which is 3 dimensional and still partially attached to the stone it was extracted from. My 5 year old kids know more about this topic than I do, but to me yours looks amazing, almost too good to be real, are you it is? If so that is one very cool fossil!
Can you fly petrified hamsters?

I've got three ammonites that my granddad picked up when he was working in the oilfields or driving trucks in the 50's... they're fossilized in limestone, some with some of the native limestone still attached. Also have some petrified wood, part of a stump from a tree turned to stone. Got a little rock collection going along the wall of my brother's garage-- the ammonites and petrified wood, a big hunk of quartz I found somewhere, some lava from a volcano in northern New Mexico, a big hunk of sulfur that was 'growing' on a leaking valve at a sulfur plant nearby (would for "stalactites" of sulfur as the water would evaporate from the steam leak carrying molten sulfur, and the workers would periodically smash it off the valve with a sledgehammer and leave the chunks on the ground). Also got a big chunk of coal that fell off a barge or something and washed up on the beach... (no, it's not a tarball). Sandstone from various areas, limestone, granite, etc...

I thought that the Ammonites were the enemies of the ancient Israelites.
Now that sounds really cool!!
