Adelogonus is an extinct genus of damesellid odontopleurid trilobite. It lived from 501 to 490 million years ago during the Dresbachian faunal stage of the late Cambrian Period.[1] Adelogonus pritchardi was found in 2018 by Smith, Patterson, and Brock[2] at the Goyder Formation, Amadeus Basin, Central Australia.[3] Adelogonus solus was discovered in 1967 by Öpik from the O’Hara Shale in the Georgina Basin.[4] Adelogonus hunanensis was discovered by Babcock, Peng, and Lin in 2013 in the Guzhangian Huaqiao Formation in the Hunan Province, South China.[5] And Adelogonus oblongus discovered in 2013 by Lin, Peng, and Yang.[2]
Etymology
