About This Book

A systematic, illustrated study of North American trilobite fossils that describes their external anatomy, including the three-lobed dorsal exoskeleton, cephalic features resembling compound eyes, segmented thorax, and variable tail, and explains how preservation favors hard carapaces while soft parts remain unknown. The text compares species and genera, supplies identification characters and colored plates or models, discusses their marine associations and possible modes of life, and offers taxonomic observations and stratigraphic notes to assist in recognizing and classifying regional specimens.
