Phillipsiidae
Encyclopedia
The Phillipsiidae comprise the last of the trilobite
s, with a range that extended from the Lower Mississippian (Kinderhookian), to the Upper Permian (Guadalupian).
The Phillipsiidae are sometimes defined as a subfamily, the Phillipsiinae, within the Proetidae
. Jell & Adrain (2003) went so far as to lump the Phillipsiidae into the Proetidae
, however other workers since like Lerosey-Aubril and Feist (2005) have continued to recognize the Phillipsiidae as a distinct and separate family within the trilbite order Proetida
.
The following genera are included:
Trilobite
Trilobites are a well-known fossil group of extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period , and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era before...
