Phacopidae
Phacopidae is a family of phacopid trilobites that ranges from the Lower Ordovician to the Upper Devonian, with representatives in all paleocontinents. Description As in all Phacopina, the eyes (if present) consist of very large (0.5 mm in ''Phacops rana''), separately set lenses without a common cornea (so called schizochroal eyes). However, several phacopids have very few lenses, such as the species of the genera ''Cryphops'', ''Denckmannites'', ''Dienstina'', ''Eucryphops'', ''Nephranops'', and ''Plagiolaria'', or lack eyes altogether, like ''Afrops'', ''Dianops'', ''Ductina'', and ''Trimerocephalus''. The natural fracture lines (sutures) of the head run along the top edges of the compound eye. From the back of the eye these cut to the side of the head (proparian) and not to the back. In front of the eye, the right and left facial sutures connect in front of the inflated glabella and consequently the free cheeks (or librigenae) are yoked as a single piece. In some of the e ...
