The taxonomy, phylogeny and palaeobiogeography of the trilobite families pliomeridae and encrinuridae: reconstructing the Ordovician world using evolving lineages
The phylogeny of the Family Pliomeridae and the Ordovician representatives of the Encrinuridae was investigated using cladistics. This resulted in the diagnosis of seven subfamilies; five of pliomerids (including one erected herein) and two subfamilies of encrinurid: the Cybelinae and Encrinurinae. …

Palaeobiology of Silurian trilobites from North Greenland
… of diverse and remarkably well preserved trilobites. The collections comprise 36 named trilobite species (32 new), and 30 under open nomenclature. These are assigned to 32 genera (six new). Members of the Scutelluidae (10 new species, four new genera), Illaenidae (one new species), …

Middle Cambrian linguliformean brachiopods of the Pika and Sullivan formations, southern Canadian Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada
… grainstone interbeds along with disarticulated trilobite sclerites and eocrinoid ossicles, all of which likely did not experience long-distance transport. Breakage of brachiopod valves is common in grainstone and is also observed alongside rare abrasion in lime mudstone, suggesting occasional …

Biogeographic and biological comparisons between the Emu Bay Shale (Kangaroo Island, South Australia) and other Cambrian Burgess Shale-type biotas
… examination of the moulting habits of two common trilobite species from the Emu Bay Shale, Estaingia bilobata Pocock, 1964 and Redlichia takooensis Lu, 1950, and how this compares with other BST assemblages. Specimens from the EBS were examined and arrangements of exoskeletal elements likely …

Earliest Cambrian - latest Proterozoic ichnofossils and problematic fossils from Inyo County, California
… calcareous fossils beneath the oldest Cambrian trilobite fossils in the White-Inyo Mountains may correlate with a pre-trilobite biozone proposed for the Lower Cambrian in other parts of the world. Such a correlation is speculative since no diagnostic pre-trilobite body fossils or ichnofossils …

Resolving Details of the Nonbiomineralized Anatomy of Trilobites Using Computed Tomographic Imaging Techniques
Remains of two trilobite species, Elrathia kingii from the Wheeler Formation (Cambrian Series 3), Utah, and Cornuproetus cornutus from the Hamar Laghdad Formation (Middle Devonian), Alnif, Morocco, were studied using computed tomographic (CT) and microtomographic (micro-CT) imaging techniques for …

Carbon cycle changes during the end-Marjuman (Cambrian) extinction in the Southern Appalachians
… Ordovician transition contains several trilobite extinctions. The first of these extinctions (the end-Marjuman) is thought to coincide with the Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion or SPICE, a large and rapid excursion in the marine carbon isotope record. This excursion, which is …

Trilobites and the Culture of Wonder in Antebellum America
… of invertebrate fossils, especially the trilobite, in historical sources. A short discussion of Charles Willson Peale’s Repository allows the reader to understand the culture of wonder at the beginning of the time period under review. Wonder, this paper argues, is a trope that can help …

Geology of the Damascus area
… fauna from the Widener limestone, and a single trilobite, Plethometopus sp. From the Conococheague formation are illustrated. The strata have been folded into five synclines and four anticlines and are broken by two major thrust faults, and Lodi thrust and the Holston Mountain thrust. The faults …

Carbonate ramp to deeper shale-shelf transitions of an Upper Cambrian (Dresbachian) shelf embayment, Nolichucky Formation, southwest Virginia
… Ribbon limestones are layers and lenses of trilobite packstone, parallel and wave-rippled laminated quartzose calcisiltite and lime mudstone that occur in stormgenerated fining-upward sequences (1-5 cm thick) and as burrowed units. Deeper embayment facies are green, calcareous shale with …

Geochemical investigations of the late early Cambrian extinctions
… around 513 – 508 Ma and redlichiid and olenellid trilobites went extinct around 506 Ma. Both extinction events have been documented to occur with negative carbon isotope excursions (CIEs) that likely represent changes in the carbon cycle. The emplacement of the Kalkarindji Large Igneous Province …
