The trilobite body is divided into three major sections : 1 – cephalon; 2 – thorax; 3 – pygidium. Trilobites are so named for the three longitudinal lobes: 4 – right pleural lobe; 5 – axial lobe; 6 – left pleural lobe; the antennae and legs are not shown in these diagrams.
Nevadella is an extinct genus of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods, with species of average size (about 5 centimetres or 2.0 inches long). It lived during the late Atdabanian stage, which lasted from 530 to 524 million years ago during the early part of the Cambrian Period .
Phacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived in Europe, northwestern Africa, North and South America and China from the Late Ordovician until the very end of the Devonian, [2] with a broader time range described from the Late Ordovician. [3]
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 ...
The Javan rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus) once roamed across many countries in Southeast Asia. Around 2,000 years ago, they were still common in many parts of China. Around 12,000 years ago, they ...
Thysanopyge is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived in what is now South America during the early part of the Arenig stage of the Ordovician Period , [ 1 ] a faunal stage which lasted from approximately 478 to 471 million years ago.
