''Eudolatites'' is a trilobite in the order Phacopida, that existed during the upper Ordovician in what is now the Czech Republic The Czech Republic, or simply Czechia, is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Historically known as Bohemia, it is bordered by Austria to the south, Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, and Slovakia to the southeast. Th .... It was described by Delo in 1935, and the type species is ''Eudolatites angelini'', which was originally described under the genus ''Dalmanites'' by Barrande in 1852.

Letná Formation
The Letná Formation is a Late Ordovician (Sandbian, or in the regional stratigraphy Berounian) geologic formation of the Prague Basin, Bohemian Massif in the Czech Republic. The formation crops out in the Czech capital, more specifically at Letná Hill, after which the formation is named. The type locality is located at Malá Strana, Holešovice district.Kříž & Steinová, 2009 The more than thick formation comprises a rhythmic alternation of sandstones (greywackes and subgreywackes), quartzites, intercalated with siltstones and shales deposited in marine flysch-like environments. Because of the excellent preservation, including gut remains, of a wide assemblage of early Paleozoic taxa in which trilobites dominate, the formation, which is lean in fossils in many areas but exceptionally rich in what has been interpreted as storm beds, has been designated a '' Konservat-Lagerstätte''. Description The Letná Formation was first formally defined in 1966 by Havlíček and Va ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
