Abstract
It is commonly assumed that by Carboniferous times trilobites were all but extinct, represented by only a handful of species belonging to the genera Phillipsia or Griffithides and found occasionally at a few localities. In fact, there is afar greater abundance and diversity of forms than is usually realized, and in parts of the Carboniferous System trilobites can be as stratigraphically important as many other fossil groups.
