connorp Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I was hoping to get some help identifying this trilobite from the Wheeler Shale (Middle Cambrian) of Utah. It's not one I've seen before. Thanks for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I’m tentatively going with Bolaspidella housensis on account of the glabella, stout genal spines, and sharp pleurae terminations. 5 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Bolaspidella housensis is confirmed with the presence of thoracic axial spines. According to Robison 1964: "....sometimes possess medial nodes or spines".
