A photographic guide to Oklahoma's Devonian trilobites. The
geological history of Coal County, Oklahoma. Descriptions of rock
formations where trilobites are found. Excavation and restoration
of trilobites. A photographic atlas of the Lower Devonian
trilobites of Oklahoma, with helpful information to aid in their
identification.
Trilobites are a well-known fossil group, possibly second most
famous only to dinosaurs. With their easily fossilized exoskeleton,
they left an extensive and diverse fossil record. They began a
drawn-out decline to extinction during Late Devonian time, when all
but one of the trilobite orders died out.
This meticulously researched reference guide is a photographic
atlas and descriptive compendium on the trilobites of Coal County,
Oklahoma. The species described lived during the Lower Devonian in
a shallow tropical ocean that had advanced over the landscape of
North America. More than twenty species are exquisitely preserved
in Oklahoma's limestone rocks.
Each species is carefully illustrated, including thorough
descriptions, so that those familiar and unfamiliar can understand
and appreciate these amazing creatures. The most current scientific
research on these trilobites is also included. For those wishing to
pursue a deeper interest in trilobites, a comprehensive
bibliography lists hundreds of sources of information for further
study.
