Parahomalonotus TrilobiteDescription: Unusual example of a member of the Order Phacopida, not seen all that much in recent years, this is Parhomalontus planus. The genus was originally Homalonotus, but that name was preoccupied by an insect. Its streamlined features are most likely indicative of a burrowing habit, much like many of the Illaenids.
