Partial Kainops & Paciphacops Trilobites - Oklahoma
This is a pair of partial, phacopid trilobites from the Haragan Formation of Oklahoma. They are both enrolled, with one missing it's tail and the other with it's tail buried in the limestone. One is a Kainops raymondi and the other is Paciphacops cambelli. These species look very similar but Paciphacops has far fewer eye facets than Kainops.
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.
