It is distinguished by its heavily ornamented, spiny...
Why this score
Widespread Baltoscandian cheirurid with ornamented lobes and elongated spines; solid specialist reputation, limited mainstream fame.

The genus is distinguished by a pygidial margin bearing pronounced spines, a characteristic shared among man...
Why this score
Spinose Ordovician cheirurid with good Laurentian record; appealing morphology but moderate global recognition.
Scoring methodology
Cybele is an extinct genus of trilobites that lived during the Middle to Late Ordovician period. Belonging to the family Cheiruridae, these marine arthropods are characterized by their distinctive, heavily tuberculate exoskeletons and broad, rounded pygidiums, or tail shields. Fossils of Cybele are...
Why this score
Tuberculate Ordovician cybelid with broad distribution and distinctive pygidium; respected but not a top tier trilobite name.
