Trilobites Link, 1807 is a disused genus of trilobites, the species of which are now all assigned to other genera. [1] [2] T. alatus = Sphaerophthalmus alatus; T. desideratus = Paradoxides gracilis; T. elliptifrons = Acernaspis elliptifrons [3] T. emarginata = Isoctomesa emarginata; T. hoffi = Ellipsocephalus hoffi; T. limbatus = Megistaspis ...
Basic anatomy of a trilobite. Waukeshaaspis was a modest sized trilobite, with an average length of around 60 mm (6 cm) long, with sizes going down to at least 9 mm (0.9 cm). [3] The cephalon of the trilobite was semi-circular, and possessed very long genal spines that extended down to the beginning of the pygidium. [3]
The Artiopoda is a grouping of extinct arthropods that includes trilobites and their close relatives. It was erected by Hou and Bergström in 1997 [5] to encompass a wide diversity of arthropods that would traditionally have been assigned to the Trilobitomorpha. Trilobites, in part due to abundance of findings owing to their mineralized ...
Asaphiscus wheeleri, a trilobite from the Cambrian Wheeler shale of Utah. This list of trilobites is a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the Arthropod class Trilobita, excluding purely vernacular terms.
Trilobites evolved into many ecological niches; some moved over the seabed as predators, scavengers, or filter feeders, and some swam, feeding on plankton. Some even crawled onto land. [7] Most lifestyles expected of modern marine arthropods are seen in trilobites, with the possible exception of parasitism (where scientific debate continues). [8]
Cyphaspis is a genus of small trilobite that lived from the Late Ordovician to the Late Devonian. Fossils have been found in marine strata in what is now Europe , Africa and North America . Various species had a compact body, and a large, bulbous glabellum.
This category has the following 7 subcategories, out of 7 total. A. Trilobites of Africa (2 C, 17 P) Trilobites of Antarctica (1 C, 6 P) Trilobites of Asia (4 C, 20 P) E.
Dalmanites is genus of trilobites with an average (about 8 centimetres or 3.1 inches long), moderately vaulted exoskeleton with an inverted egg-shaped outline (about 1.5× longer than wide). Its headshield (or cephalon ) is semicircular, with robust (genal) spines extending from the side of the cephalon back to approximately the 8th thorax segment.
