Happy New Year!

I treated my widening trilo collection to these Kainops invius trilobites from the Cravat Member of the Bois d' Arc formation, near Clarita, Oklahoma. They are approximately 400 million years old (Lower Devonian, Helderbergian).They are similar to Phacops except they have longer glabellae and similar to Paciphacops but have more eye facets. The specimens measure 0.75, 0.75 and 0.5 inches long as they are rolled up.B)

I particularly appreciate the information in your post, especially the tidbits that distinguish this species from similar ones :)
