Variation on cranidial shape of Parabolinella argentinensis Kobayashi (Trilobita, Olenidae) from the Tremadocian of northwestern Argentina: Taxonomic implications

The late Cambrian-Early Ordovician sequences of the Cordillera Oriental in northwestern Argentina are extensive and highly fossiliferous. The olenid trilobite Parabolinella argentinensis Kobayashi sensu Harrington and Leanza, 1957 was reported from a great number of Tremadocian localities and includ...
