	Agnostida - EvoWiki
		The Agnostids strongly resembled a pair of castanets, in that, the cephalon and the pygidium were grossly enlarged, and resembled each other, and were connected to each other by a thorax that only consisted of 2 to 3 segments.
		Agnostida is divided into two suborders, Agnostina, and Eodiscina.
		The Eodiscina links Agnostida to the rest of the trilobites, and tend to resemble other trilobites better than the Agnostina agnostids.

	Bambooweb: Agnostida
		Agnostida first appeared toward the end of the Lower Cambrian, and thrived in the Middle Cambrian.
		The Agnostida are divided into two suborders—Agnostina and Eodiscina—that are then divided into a number of families.
		The Agnostida have, as a result of their name, occasionally been the source of geek humor—for example, the order may be defined as those Trilobita who aren't sure God exists.

	Palaeos Invertebrates : Order Agnostida
		It has been suggested that some Agnostida were planktonic.
		Introduction: There is some controversy over the placement of Eodiscina in the Agnostida.
		Presence of eyes, sutures, and typical thoracic structure suggest that Eodiscina may be more akin to (or a suborder of) Ptychopariida, but for now the overall similarity to Agnostina and (placement in Agnostida) prevails in the 1997 systematic treatment of the current Treatise.

		As a group, agnostids have pygidia (tails) that are so similar in size and shape to their cephalons (heads) that it is difficult to distinguish which end is which.
		The challenge to the status has focused on the Agnostina partly because juveniles of one genus have been found with legs greatly different from those of adult trilobites, suggesting they are separately descended from Crustaceans.
		Other researchers have suggested, based on cladistic analyses, that Eodiscina and Agnostida are closely united, and that the Eodiscina descended from the trilobite Order Ptychopariida.

		The representatives of the Agnostida are usually only a few mm in size.
		A typical characteristic of this order is the nearly identical construction in size and outline of cephalon and pygidium (isopygous), as well as the low number of thoracic segments.
		The AGNOSTIDA are including the suborders Agnostina and Eodiscina.

	AGNOSTIDA FACT SHEET
		In the image above, Agnostida (yellow) is seen as an early order, arising in the middle Cambrian and persisting to the late Ordovician.
		The arrangement of genera and families for suborder Agnostina is via Jell and Adrain 2003, superceding some of the classification of Agnostida in the 1997 Treatise.
		Presence of eyes, sutures, and typical thoracic structure suggest that Eodiscina (especially Pagetiidae) are akin to Ptychopariida, but overall similarity to Agnostina (and placement in Agnostida) prevails in the 1997 systematic treatment of the current Treatise.

		The whole order Agnostida is composed of small trilobites with 2 or 3 thoracic segments.
		Some thinks that its linked with a parasitic life, others thinks Agnostida’s are parts of plankton, other thinks that Agnostida could have lived attached to stones or algae to filter water.
		However, it is difficult to choose between all theories about Agnostida mean of life, because one very important characteristic to determine it is the shape of appendages that are rarely preserved.

		On the other, they lack a calcified cuticle, evidence of sutures, and the cephalic shield is shorter than the pygidium –; the 'macropygous' condition that is rare among trilobites, and confined exclusively to highly evolved forms (among the Asaphidae and Styginidae).
		Despite their superficial resemblance, they do not appear to be closely related to the Agnostida.
		Cephalic disorders are congenital conditions that stem from damage to, or abnormal development of, the budding nervous system.

	Trilobite Order Agnostida
		The trilobites of Order Agnostida (pronounced Ag-nós-t-eh-da)appeared in the Lower Cambrian where they were diverse and ubiquitous, and declined to become rare in the Ordovician prior to their complete extinction by the end of the Ordovician.
		Additionally, their diminutive size, low mass and general morphology are hydrodynamically inconsistent with a swimming pelagic mode of life.
		A weight of evidence tends to support that the Agnostida were benthic, but more data are needed; perhaps the little Agnostida made their living in different or multiple ways, depending on their age, or on the paleoenvironment where they lived.

		It is very small, its cephalon ('head') and pygidium ('tail') are approximately equal in size and shape, it has no eyes, and there are exactly two segments in the thorax.
		These characteristics only occur in the Order Agnostida, and this order is only known from Cambrian rocks.
		In this example, a little more effort spent learning to identify the critter one step farther down the taxonomic hierarchy pays off by changing our age estimate from between 530-245 my to between 530-500 my, a reduction in error of nearly 90%!
