| | Phylogenetic analysis of some basal early Cambrian trilobites, the biogeographic origins of the Eutrilobita, and the ... |
 | | As trilobites are relatively derived arthropods, this suggests that numerous important episodes of metazoan cladogenesis precede both the earliest trilobitic part of the Early Cambrian, and indeed, even the Early Cambrian. |
 | | Thus, the "Fallotaspidoidea" are a grade group within and transitional to the rest (sutured members) of the Redlichiina, and they include taxa that share a close common ancestry with the Olenellina, the basal eutrilobite clade (Lieberman, 1998, 2001). |
 | | The "fallotaspidoids" and basal representatives of the Redlichiina are characterized by several features discussed by Lieberman (1998, 2001) which allow them to be consistently distinguished from the Olenellina. |
