Raymond, Percy E. (Percy Edward)
Trilobites
The transverse furrows are the impressions left by the gnathobases
of the basal joints of the legs. They were evidently long and very
heavy, but the specimen has been so abraded that all details are
obscured. The first six pairs of impressions are longer and deeper
than the four behind. The first eight pairs seem to pertain to the
thoracic appendages, while the last two belong to the pygidium.
From the posterior tips of the hypostoma to the first gnathobases
of which traces are present there is a distance of about 22 mm.
without impressions. In _Isotelus gigas_ the hypostoma normally
extends back to the posterior margin of the cephalon, so that it
seems that in this specimen the impressions of the first two pairs
of gnathobases under the thorax may not have been preserved. In
that case, the six pairs of strong impressions may represent the
last six pairs of thoracic segments, and the pygidium might begin
with the first of the fainter ones.
_Horizon and locality:_ From the sandstone near the base of the Aylmer
(Upper Chazy) formation at Britannia, west of Ottawa, Ontario.
