Title: | Injured trilobites within a collection of dinosaurs: Using the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology to document Cambrian predation | Contributor(s): | Bicknell, Russell D C (author) ; Holland, Brayden (author) | Publication Date: | 2020-07 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.26879/1087 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/29456 | Abstract: | Biomineralised exoskeletons of trilobites are ideal for recording abnormalities, documenting injuries from failed attacks, and understanding predation in the fossil record. The illustration of new injured Cambrian-aged trilobites is particularly important for elucidating aspects of early Paleozoic predator-prey systems and identifying groups that were targets of this early predation. We document six new abnormal trilobite specimens from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, including the first evidence for injuries on the corynexochid trilobite Hemirhodon amplipyge. These new data highlight the importance of museum collections in uncovering unique and informative specimens for studies of predation on early animals. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Grant Details: | ARC/DP200102005 | Source of Publication: | Palaeontologia Electronica, 23(2), p. 1-11 | Publisher: | Coquina Press | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1094-8074 1935-3952 |
