A.C. Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hey all, Was curious if anyone knew if trilobites and eurypterids were ever found in association, and if so what species? It is interesting to me that trilobites tend to always be inflated and Eurypterids tend to be flattened and was mostly curious to also know if there are super flattened trilobites (non Cambrian) or more inflated eurypterids. Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Not in the Silurian that I'm aware of in any freshwater or brackish environment, however Flexicalymene and Isotelus fragments have been discovered in association with Megalograptus in the late Ordovician (near-shore marine).
