A Gallery of some of the Trilobite Order Odontopleurida

Gallery of Odontopleurida

There are several stable sources of trilobite images on the web, but these are usually not arranged systematically. I have compiled just a few representative images from a variety of cited sources to share with you as a resource and a link to those other sources. I encourage you to visit those excellent sites for more information. Even the most stable websites are down temporarily. Please report persistent broken links to me.

Note: The 1997 Treatise classification convention defines Order Lichida = Superfamilies Lichoidea + Odontopleuroidea + Dameselloidea. An alternate classification that is growing in use separates the Odontopleuroidea + Dameselloidea into an order Odontopleurida. This gallery displays that concept.
