Although intra-species trilobite diversity seems to have peaked during the Cambrian, [30] trilobites were still active participants in the Ordovician radiation event, with a new fauna taking over from the old Cambrian one. [31] Phacopida and Trinucleioidea are characteristic forms, highly differentiated and diverse, most with uncertain ...
Encrinurus is a long-lived genus of phacopid trilobites that lived in what are now Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America from the middle Ordovician to the early Devonian from 472 to 412.3 mya, existing for approximately
Paradoxides is a characteristic Middle-Cambrian trilobite of the 'Atlantic' (Avalonian) fauna. Avalonian rocks were deposited near a small continent called Avalonia in the Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean . Avalonian beds are now in a narrow strip along the East Coast of North America, and in Europe.
Trilobites were still present and like the Ordovician Silurian rocks are a better source of trilobite fossils than the state's Cambrian deposits. Also like the Ordovician, the superiority of Silurian rocks as a source of trilobites is due to the Silurian rocks being more accessible to collectors than the older ones. [ 1 ]
Olenoides followed the basic structure of all trilobites — a cephalon (head shield), a thorax with seven jointed parts, and finally a semicircular pygidium. Its antennae were long, and curved back along its sides. Its thin legs show that it was no swimmer, instead crawling along the sea floor in search of prey.

In contrast to the related Phacops, Eldredgeops generally has a raised ridge along the ventral margin of the cephalon, the glabella is more inflated, the lateral parts of the preoccipital ring are rectangular (and not round), the palpebral area and palpebral lobe are larger than in P. latifrons (the type species of Phacops), and there is no ...
