Eoagnostus is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived during the terminal Lower Cambrian (Toyonian), until the earliest Middle Cambrian (earliest Kounamkites-zone, part of the lower Amgaian).[1]

Distribution

  • Eoagnostus roddyi terminal Lower Cambrian of the United States (Bonnia-zone, Kinzers Shale, Lancaster, New York; Pennsylvania; Vermont)[2] and the early Middle Cambrian of Newfoundland, and Greenland (around the boundary of Ovatoryctocara-zone, Henson Gletscher Formation).[1]
  • Eoagnostus acrorhachis occurs in the terminal Lower Cambrian of the United States (Bonnia-zone, Hatch Hill, New York).[2]

Description

Almost identical to Archaeagnostus, but the frontal lobe of the central raised area of the cephalon (or glabella) is effaced, while the back of glabella is inflated.[1]
