description Brachymetopus Overview

Brachymetopus is an extinct genus of proetid trilobites known from Carboniferous rocks in Europe and North America. It occurs in both Mississippian and Pennsylvanian strata, placing it within a period when trilobite diversity had declined from its earlier Paleozoic levels. The genus is characterized by a compact body and a relatively smooth glabella, and it is relevant to studies of late trilobite evolution.
