Site: Haragan Formation, Coal County, Oklahoma
The
well preserved trilobite is a member of the Order Phacopida, Family
Phacopidae. This trilobite was prepared by Bob Carroll, a world-reknowed
preparator of Oklahoma Devonian trilobites. Others may use less
care, resulting in a less desirable specimen. Many trilobites from
the region were once called Paciphacops, but this one is differentiated
from the genus Kainops by the smaller number of schizochroal
eye facets, the unique attribute of Phacopid Suborder Phacopina.
