Lochovella (= Reedops) deckeri

Trilobites Order Phacopida, Suborder Phacopina, Superfamily Phacopoidea, Family Phacopidae
Geologic Age: Lower Devonian
Trilobite is 50 mm long
Haragan Formation, Coal County, Clarita, Oklahoma
Remarks: Note the granulous glabella and compound Schizochroal eyes. This trilobite was once assigned to the Reedops genus, but is now assigned to Lochovella (Adamek, 2013) because of several differentiating traits: Lochovella has well-developed tubercular ornamentation as seen here, distinct glabellar furrows and a squatter cephalon than Reedops.
