description Basidechenella Overview
Basidechenella is a genus of proetid trilobites known from Devonian rocks. It belongs to the order Proetida and is classified in the family Proetidae in modern taxonomic databases, although older literature may place related forms under Dechenellidae or use Dechenella in combination. Fossils assigned to the genus occur in North American and European Devonian deposits. The name is used by paleontologists comparing regional trilobite faunas and the evolution of proetid body forms.
