LabRatKing Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Taking a break from my many projects to do a bit of planning/research for my 2021 Utah excursion, putting together my "preop brief" Kept stumbling on references to Bathyocos housensis. Its a "new" genus and the species description only has very nice stereo images of the cranidium. Looks like all the paratype specimens are also just glabella-centric cranidia as per SUNDBERG, F.A. 1994. Corynexochida and Ptychopariida (Trilobita, Arthropoda) of the Ehmaniella Biozone (Middle Cambrian), Utah and Nevada. Contributions in Science from the Natural History Everyone else seems to just regurgitate the same cut and paste mention from Jell, P.A. & Adrain, J.M. Available generic names for trilobites. which is just a mention of Sundberg 94. Was just curious if anyone has or had seen any images or reconstructions of this curious little bug. Looks like its a Drum, Wheeler, and Snake Range critter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The holotype and paratypes are the only published specimens. What is a glabella-centric cranidium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a glabella-centric cranidium? Is as I figured. Was worth a shot! To answer your question- Like this: Photos of the cranidium with main focus on the details of the glabella, the bump in the center of the head, hence glabella-centric cranidia photos!
