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.

Polyatomic Molecules Formed with a Rydberg Atom in an Ultracold Environment [PDF]
, 2006 We investigate properties of ultralong-range polyatomic molecules formed with a Rb Rydberg atom and several ground-state atoms whose distance from the Rydberg atom is of the order of n^2a_0, where n is the principle quantum number of the Rydberg electron.

Exploring abnormal Cambrian-aged trilobites in the Smithsonian collection [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Biomineralised trilobite exoskeletons provide a 250 million year record of abnormalities in one of the most diverse arthropod groups in history. One type of abnormality—repaired injuries—have allowed palaeobiologists to document records of Paleozoic ...

Trilobite ‘pelotons’: possible hydrodynamic drag effects between leading and following trilobites in trilobite queues [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2017 AbstractEnergy saving mechanisms in nature allow following organisms to expend less energy than leaders. Queues, or ordered rows of individuals, may form when organisms exploit the available energy saving mechanism while travelling at near‐maximal sustainable metabolic capacities; compact clusters form when group members travel well below maximal ...

Microstructure and growth of the lenses of schizochroal trilobite eyes [PDF]
, 2013 Lenses within the schizochroal eyes of phacopine trilobites are made principally of calcite and characterisation of them using light microscopy and high-resolution electron imaging and diffraction has revealed an array of microstructural arrangements ...

First record of Telephina (Trilobita) from the Ordovician of northeastern Estonia and its stratigraphical implications [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2011 For the first time a telephinid trilobite was recorded from the shallow-water rocks of the North Estonian Confacies Belt in the oil-shale mining area of northeast Estonia.

Sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and facies analysis of Cambrian Series 2 – Series 3 boundary strata in northwestern Scotland [PDF]
, 2016 Globally, the Series 2 – Series 3 boundary of the Cambrian System coincides with a major carbon isotope excursion, sea-level changes and trilobite extinctions.

Upper lower Cambrian (provisional Cambrian Series 2) trilobites from northwestern Gansu Province, China [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 Upper lower Cambrian (provisional Cambrian Series 2) trilobites are described from three sections through the Shuangyingshan Formation in the Beishan area, northwestern Gansu Province, China. The trilobite fauna is dominated by eodiscoid and corynexochid
