Coupled exuviae of the Ordovician Ovalocephalus (Pliomeridae, Trilobita) in South China and its behavioral implications [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Ecdysis was a vital process during the lives of trilobites. In addition to preserving the morphological changes in trilobite ontogeny, the preservation of its action often captured interesting behavioral information.
