Additional Information
The Wheeler Shale formation was named by Charles Doolittle Walcott. The Wheeler is a Konzentrat-Lagerstätte of soft tissued organisms preserved as carbonaceous film on calcareous shale, shaley limestone, mudstone and thin flaggy limestone.
Brachyaspidon is a member of the order: Ptychopariida, a large heterogeneous order of trilobite containing some of the most primitive species known. The earliest species occurred in the second half of the Lower Cambrian, and the last species did not survive the Ordovician–Silurian extinction event.
