sseth Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Looks to be a species of Crotalocephalina. Not sure about the exact species found in Portugal though. Someone here will know.

Raggedy Man Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) 11 genera: Asteropyge, Digonus, Cyphaspis, Delocare, Drotops, Gerastos, Greenops, Paracryphaeus, Parahomalonotus, Phacops and Pseudocryphaeus are found in the devonian of Portugal. Any chance you can provide better images? Best regards, Paul Edited June 21, 2016 by Raggedy Man ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Caprichoso et al. 2016, there are 11 Devonian genera, but Drotops is only found in Morocco. Acaste is the one missing from your list. It certainly looks like a phacopid. Instead of lateral oblique view, a top-down photo would assist further. Caprichoso, C., Sá, A.A., Legoinha, P., Pereira, S. (2016) Trilobites of the Devonian of Portugal – the state of the art.
