Allopatric molting of Devonian trilobites [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Trilobite exuviae record the development of individual trilobites and their molting process and can also contain information on their behavior. The silt- to fine-grained tuffites of the middle part of the Middle Member of the Upper Devonian Hongguleleng ...

Reassessing a cryptic history of early trilobite evolution [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 A reassessment of early trilobite phylogenetic relationships and palaeobiogeographic patterns suggests that a cryptic evolutionary history is unlikely for this group.

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.

Trilobite expansion into estuarine environments during the Ordovician radiation [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Trilobites have traditionally been considered fully marine. Through the integration of ichnological, palaeobiological and sedimentological datasets within a sequence-stratigraphic and stratiÂgraphic palaeobiology framework, we challenge this assumption.

Ontogenetic moulting behavior of the Cambrian oryctocephalid trilobite Arthricocephalites xinzhaiheensis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Moulting behaviors in trilobites are a crucial strategy during development. Previous studies have demonstrated inter-and intraspecific variability of moulting behavior in trilobites.

A new middle Cambrian trilobite with a specialized cephalon from Shandong Province, North China [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2020 Trilobites achieved their maximum generic diversity in the Cambrian, but the peak of morphological disparity of their cranidia occurred in the Middle to Late Ordovician. Early to middle Cambrian trilobites with a specialized cephalon are rare, especially

Advances in the Lower Ordovician of the western Iberian Chain, NE Spain [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The western Iberian Chain of NE Spain represents a lateral prolongation of the West Asturian-Leonese Zone. As other proximal sectors fringing NW Gondwana, the chain comprises a conÂformable and continuous FurongianâTremadocian transition, comprising a

First confident evidence of moulting in eodiscid trilobites from the Cambrian Stage 3 of South China [PDF]
, 2023 Trilobite moulting behaviour has been extensively investigated. However, exuviae in eodiscid trilobites are poorly known. Here, we report two eodiscid trilobite specimens, Tsunyidiscus niutitangensis and Tsunyidiscus sp., showing Somersault configuration
