Changaspis
''Changaspis'' is an extinct genus of trilobite that lived during the lower Cambrian The Cambrian ( ) is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon. The Cambrian lasted 51.95 million years from the end of the preceding Ediacaran period 538.8 Ma (million years ago) to the beginning of the Ordov ... in what is now China.

Ovatoryctocara
''Ovatoryctocara'' is a genus of small corynexochid trilobites from the Cambrian, that lived in what now are Siberia, China, Greenland and Canada (Newfoundland). ''Ovatoryctocara'' can be recognised by the combination of the following characters: the central raised area of the cephalon (or glabella) is approximately cylindrical and has two rows of four triangular or round pits. The thorax only has 5 or 6 segments. The tailshield (or pygidium) has an axis (or rhachis) of 6 to 12 rings, the pleural furrows are well developed and the border is absent or narrow as a hair. It is in the subfamily Oryctocarinae. Etymology The name of the genus is derived from its type ''Oryctocara ovata''. Ovata refers to its oval overall shape, the Ancient Greek ὀρύκτης (oryctos) means "digger", and the Latin cara is a word for "head" or "face". Biostratographic significance The species of the genus ''Ovatoryctocara'' occur near the lower limit of the Middle Cambrian in Siberia. The first ...

Corynexochida
Corynexochida is an order of trilobite that lived from the Lower Cambrian to the Late Devonian. Like many of the other trilobite orders, Corynexochida contains many species with widespread characteristics. Description The middle region of the cephalon (arthropod anatomy), cephalon (the glabella) is typically elongate, with the sides often spreading forward (pestle-shaped). Some species have glabellae that are ''effaced'', meaning they are smooth and show little detail. The glabellar furrows (when not effaced) typically have a splayed arrangement. In most species, the hind pair on either side of the cephalon become spines that point sharply backwards, and the spinose tips of the anterior pairs of thoracic segments tend to become more and more forward directed toward the pygidium. The eyes are typically large. Pygidia are typically large, competing in size with the cephalon in some species. The tips of the thoracic segments of many Corynexochida species are spine-like (though in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Feilongshania
''Feilongshania'' is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived during the later part of the Botomian stage, which lasted from approximately 524 to 518.5 million years ago. This faunal stage was part of the Cambrian Period The Cambrian ( ) is the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era, and the Phanerozoic Eon.

Oryctocephalus
''Oryctocephalus'' is a genus of trilobites known from the Middle Cambrian Burgess Shale. 24 specimens of ''Oryctocephalus'' are known from the Greater Phyllopod bed, where they comprise 0.42% of the community. This small- to medium-sized trilobite's major characteristics are prominent eye ridges, pleural spines, long genal spines, spines on the pygidium, and notably four furrows connecting pairs of pits on its glabella The glabella, in humans, is the area of skin between the eyebrows and above the nose. The term also refers to the underlying bone that is slightly depressed, and joins the two brow ridges. It is a cephalometric landmark that is just superior .... Juvenile specimens have been found with only 5 or 6 thoracic segments and about one eighth of adult size, as well as about 2 mm wide.Coppold, Murray and Wayne Powell (2006).
