An amazing agnostoid arthropod was recently named in my honor. The Great Cambrian-Ordovician trilobitologist: John Taylor has bestowed Lotagnostus morrisoni upon yours truly. Although the Agnostida have long been classified among the orders of trilobites, because of a number of key differences, they are currently excluded and regarded as a closely related sister group to the polymeroid trilobites. In any event, the Agnostida will always be inextricably associated and studied in conjunction with the Trilobita. I'm very grateful to have the privilege to share this 'Lucky' Lotagnostus here at TFF!
