description Pseudopedinopariops Overview
Devonian phacopid trilobite from Morocco, closely resembling Pedinopariops and separated from it by subtle differences in glabellar furrow depth and schizochroal eye-lens arrangement.
help Pseudopedinopariops FAQ
Where did Pseudopedinopariops live?
Pseudopedinopariops is a Devonian phacopid trilobite known from Morocco. Its fossils come from marine rocks formed during the Devonian Period.
How is Pseudopedinopariops different from Pedinopariops?
The two genera are very similar and are separated by subtle morphology. Important clues include the depth of the glabellar furrows and the arrangement of lenses in the schizochroal eyes.
What are schizochroal eyes?
Schizochroal eyes are compound trilobite eyes made of many separate lenses. Their lens arrangement can help distinguish closely related phacopid genera such as Pseudopedinopariops and Pedinopariops.
Is Pseudopedinopariops a modern animal?
No. It is an extinct Devonian trilobite, not a living marine arthropod. The genus is studied through fossil exoskeletons and preserved eye structures.
