Cool Trilobite
Often when you are collecting you have no idea what you have found. That's part of the fun of collecting - learning about the things you find. Sometimes, you flip it over and find out you have a spectacular new trilobite species. Other times, you flip it over and find out you have something like this (see below). And yes, this is the same specimen.
