Enrolled Kainops Trilobite With Hyolithid Fossil - Black Cat Mountain
This is a unusual association from the Black Cat Mountain quarry near Clarita, Oklahoma. There is a 1.5" long Hyolithid next to a .65" wide, enrolled Kainops trilobite. Hyoliths are animals with small conical shells, known as fossils from the Palaeozoic Era. They are lophophorates, a group which includes the brachiopods. Their fossils are fairly uncommon at this location.
About Trilobites
Trilobites are an extinct class of marine arthropods that thrived for nearly 270 million years, from the early Cambrian to the end of the Permian period (around 521 to 252 million years ago). They are one of the most successful and diverse groups in the history of life, with over 25,000 described species spanning a wide range of sizes, shapes, and ecological niches. Known for their distinctive, segmented exoskeletons, trilobites provide invaluable insights into the evolutionary history of arthropods and the dynamics of ancient marine ecosystems.
