Phacopida Extinct order of trilobites

Phacopida ("lens-face") is an order of trilobite that lived from the Late Cambrian to the Late Devonian. It is made up of a morphologically diverse group of related suborders.

Dalmanitidae Extinct family of trilobites

Dalmanitidae is a family of trilobites in the order Phacopida that lived from the Floian (Ordovician) to the Devonian and includes 33 genera.

Calymenina

Calymenina is a suborder of the trilobite order Phacopida.

Acastoidea

Acastoidea is a superfamily of trilobites from the order Phacopida, suborder Phacopina. This superfamily is divided into two families, Acastidae and Calmoniidae. This superfamily is distinguishable from the Phacopidae in that eyes are closer to the glabella and that the glabella has lobes, unlike the genera in Phacopidae.

Gregory Donald Edgecombe is a merit researcher in the department of Earth Sciences at the Natural History Museum, London. He is a leading figure in understanding the evolution of arthropods, their position in animal evolution and the integration of fossil data into analyses of animal phylogeny. As a palaeontologist, he is also an authority on the systematics of centipedes – and a morphologist whose work contributes to the growth and methods of analysis of molecular datasets for inferring evolutionary relationships.
