Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia.
Arthropod
Arthropods are invertebrates in the phylum Arthropoda.
Genus
Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.
Kanosh Formation
The Kanosh Formation is a geologic formation in Utah and Nevada.
See Kanoshia and Kanosh Formation
Ordovician
The Ordovician is a geologic period and system, the second of six periods of the Paleozoic Era.
Paleobiology Database
The Paleobiology Database is an online resource for information on the distribution and classification of fossil animals, plants, and microorganisms.

Phacopida
Phacopida ("lens-face") is an order of trilobites that lived from the Late Cambrian to the Late Devonian. Kanoshia and Phacopida are phacopida stubs.
Pliomeridae
Pliomeridae is a family of phacopide trilobites, containing the following genera. Kanoshia and Pliomeridae are phacopida stubs.
Species
A species (species) is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.
Specific name (zoology)
In zoological nomenclature, the specific name (also specific epithet, species epithet, or epitheton) is the second part (the second name) within the scientific name of a species (a binomen).
See Kanoshia and Specific name (zoology)
Trilobite
Trilobites (meaning "three lobes") are extinct marine arthropods that form the class Trilobita.
Type (biology)
In biology, a type is a particular specimen (or in some cases a group of specimens) of an organism to which the scientific name of that organism is formally associated.
See Kanoshia and Type (biology)
Type species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).
United States
The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.

Utah
Utah is a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States.
