Eoharpes is a genus of trilobite that belonged to the especially long-lived Order Harpetda, which appeared in the Late Cambrian and survived to the end of the Devonian, dying out in the mass extinction event of that time.

Interesting specimen with a nice red cephalic brim – a flash of color against a light brown matrix. You get the counterpart too.
