Brisbane. ISSN0079-8835. Aconsolidated list of available generic names introduced since the beginning of the binomial nomenclature system for trilobites is presented for the first time. Each entry is accompanied by the author and date of availability, by the name of the type species, by a lithostratigraphic or biostratigraphic and geographic reference for the type species, by a family assignment and by an age indication of the type species at the Period level (e.g. MCAM, LDEV). A second listing of these names is taxonomically arranged in families with the families listed alphabetically, higher level classification being outside the scope of this work. We also provide a list of names that have apparently been applied to trilobites but which remain nomina nuda within the ICZN definition. Peter A.

LIEBERMAN Departments of Geology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lindley Hall, Lawrence 66045, <[email protected]> ABSTRACT—Phylogenetic analysis was used to evaluate evolutionary relationships within the Cambrian suborder Olenellina Walcott, 1890; special emphasis was placed on those taxa outside of the Olenelloidea. Fifty-seven exoskeletal characters were coded for 24 taxa within the Olenellina and two outgroups referable to the "fallotaspidoid" grade. The Olenelloidea, along with the genus Gabriellus Fritz, 1992, are the sister group of the Judomioidea Repina, 1979. The "Nevadioidea" Hupe, 1953 are a paraphyletic grade group. Four new genera are recognized, Plesionevadia, Cambroinyoella, Callavalonia, and Sdzuyomia, and three new species are described, Nevadia fritzi, Cirquella nelsoni, and Cambroinyoella wallacei. Phylogenetic parsimony analysis is also used to make predictions about the ancestral morphology of the Olenellina.

Abstract Order Ptychopariida has always been a problematic group concerning the taxonomic classification of Cambrian trilobites, and even though the temporality of this group is well known, the relation between this order with others, and, the difficulty for classifying ptychopariids have let to diverse problems in the phylogenetic classification of this, and other primitive orders of trilobites. Agraulos is one of the genera belonging to this order and is a common group of the middle Cambrian, it is a well-known genus inside ptychopariids, therefore, morphological knowledge about this taxon could be helpful to analyze morphological patterns among other species from the genus and even other genera inside the family Agraulidae, and even more, about the superfamily Ellipsocephaloidea.

  • The Silurian and Devonian Proetid and Aulacopleurid Trilobites of Japan and Their Palaeogeographical Significance
    The Silurian and Devonian proetid and aulacopleurid trilobites of Japan and their palaeogeographical significance CHRISTOPHER P. STOCKER, DEREK J. SIVETER, PHILIP D. LANE, MARK WILLIAMS, TATSUO OJI, GENGO TANAKA, TOSHIFUMI KOMATSU, SIMON WALLIS, DAVID J. SIVETER AND THIJS R. A. VANDENBROUCKE Stocker, C.P., Siveter, D.J., Lane, P.D., Williams, M., Oji, T., Tanaka, G., Komatsu, T., Wallis, S., Siveter, D.J. & Vandenbroucke, T.R.A. 2019: The Silurian and Devonian proetid and aulacopleurid trilobites of Japan and their palaeogeographical significance. Fossils and Strata, No. 64, pp. 205–232. Trilobites referable to the orders Proetida and Aulacopleurida are geographically wide- spread in the Silurian and Devonian strata of Japan. They are known from the South Kitakami, Hida-Gaien and Kurosegawa terranes. Revision of other Japanese trilobite groups, most notably the Illaenidae, Scutelluidae and Phacopidae, has extended the palaeobiogeographical ranges of several Japanese trilobite taxa, but has not signalled conclusive evidence of a consistent palaeogeographical affinity. In part, this may relate to the temporally and spatially fragmented Palaeozoic record in Japan, and perhaps also to the different ecological ranges of the trilobites. Here, we present a taxonomic revision of all previously described proetid and aulacopleurid trilobites from Japan, along with descriptions of new material, which comprises thirteen species (one new: Interproetus mizobuchii n. sp.) within nine genera, with three species described under open nomenclature. These trilobites show an endemic signal at species level, not just between Japan and other East Asian terranes, but also between individual Japanese ter- ranes. This endemicity may be explicable in terms of facies and ecology, rather than simply being a function of geographical isolation.

  • Th TRILO the Back to the Past Museum Guide to TRILO BITES
    With regard to human interest in fossils, trilobites may rank second only to dinosaurs. Having studied trilobites most of my life, the English version of The Back to the Past Museum Guide to TRILOBITES by Enrico Bonino and Carlo Kier is a pleasant treat. I am captivated by the abundant color images of more than 600 diverse species of trilobites, mostly from the authors’ own collections. Carlo Kier The Back to the Past Museum Guide to Specimens amply represent famous trilobite localities around the world and typify forms from most of the Enrico Bonino Enrico 250-million-year history of trilobites. Numerous specimens are masterpieces of modern professional preparation. Richard A. Robison Professor Emeritus University of Kansas TRILOBITES Enrico Bonino was born in the Province of Bergamo in 1966 and received his degree in Geology from the Depart- ment of Earth Sciences at the University of Genoa. He currently lives in Belgium where he works as a cartographer specialized in the use of satellite imaging and geographic information systems (GIS). His proficiency in the use of digital-image processing, a healthy dose of artistic talent, and a good knowledge of desktop publishing software have provided him with the skills he needed to create graphics, including dozens of posters and illustrations, for all of the displays at the Back to the Past Museum in Cancún. In addition to his passion for trilobites, Enrico is particularly inter- TRILOBITES ested in the life forms that developed during the Precambrian. Carlo Kier was born in Milan in 1961.

On the map the distribution of major Paleozoic sedimentary units of Austria is indicated. Graz Paleozoic (D) The sequence includes Silurian to Carboniferous strata, of which the Devonian neritic units around Graz are very well developed. We are going to visit Emsian to Givetian sections such as the road-cut at St. Pankrazen or Forstweg Attems where coral frame- and rudstones are outcropping. Additionally to a very well known algal flora and coral fauna, some of these localities yield a diverse microfauna including scolecodonts, conodonts and other vertebrate remains like shark teeth or placoderm plates. Carnic Alps (G) The sequence includes Ordovician to Permian units, of which we are going to visit the Carboniferous of Nötsch and the Nassfeld area. At the first mentioned locality brachiopods like Gigantoproductus, trilobites (Proetidae, Phillipsiidae), gastropods, crinoids and ostracods occur. At the second locality, Mount Auernig, we are going to visit the Upper Carboniferous sequence yielding calcareous algae and silicified foraminifers (Fusulinoidea), bryozoans and ostracods.

A total of 15 families; 36 genera and 53 species are documented herein, including a new genus and seventeen new species; fourteen of which remain under open nomenclature. Most of the trilobites in the British late Silurian are restricted to the shelf, and predominantly occur in the Elton, Bringewood, Leintwardine, and Whitcliffe groups of Wales and the Welsh Borderland. The Elton to Whitcliffe groups represent a shallowing upwards sequence overall; each is characterised by a distinct lithofacies and fauna. The trilobites and brachiopods of the Coldwell Formation of the Lake District Basin are documented, and are comparable with faunas in the Swedish Colonus Shale and the Mottled Mudstones of North Wales. Ludlow trilobite associations, containing commonly co-occurring trilobite taxa, are defined for each palaeoenvironment.

  • Evolutionry Trends in Trilobita
    EVOLUTIONRY TRENDS IN TRILOBITA PRAHLAD KUMAR ARYA Assistant Professor Department of Geology, Patna Science College Patna University INTRODUCTION Trilobites are signature creatures of the Paleozoic Era, the first era to raise diversity of complex life forms. Trilobites were among the first of the arthropods, a phylum of hard-shelled creatures with multiple body segments and jointed legs that existed over 300 million years ago. The Trilobites are made up of nine orders, over 150 families, thousands of genera, and over 15,000 species. They were once one of the most successful of all animal groups and in certain fossil deposits, especially in the Cambrian, Ordovician, and Devonian periods, they were remarkably abundant. A prolonged decline then set in before they finally became extinct in the Permian Period, about 250 million years ago. They were exclusively marine but nurtured in all types of marine environments, and ranged in size from less than a centimeter to almost a meter. With such a diversity of species and sizes, the life styles of trilobites include planktonic, swimming, and crawling forms. They occupied a varied set of ecological roles, perhaps mostly as predators, detritivores, and scavengers. MORPHOLOGY OF TRILOBITA CEPHALON The head shield composed of fused segments containing a sensory organs such as eyes, antennae as well as the mouth and a special ventral plate called the hypostome, thought to function as a mouthpart. The central region of the cephalon is termed as Glabella. THORAX Comprised of a number of separate segments, usually of similar shape and varying somewhat in size with the posterior edge of the cephalon and the anterior edge of the pygidium, allowing the trilobite to bend, primarily upward and downward, and in many species, allowing the animal to enroll as a protective behavior.
