Dudleyaspis (meaning "Dudley shield") is an extinct genus of Lower to Middle Devonian odontopleurid trilobites that lived in a shallow sea that lay between Euramerica and Gondwana.[1] It was named in 1949 by Prantl & Pribyl.[2]
Fossils of Dudleyaspis have been found in the following locations:
- Australia: Bathurst (Jesse Limestone[3]), Mudgee (Flirtation Hill[4]) and Murrumbateman (Black Bog Formation – Yarwood Siltstone Member[5])
- Canada: Northwest Territories (Mackenzie Mountains – Delorme and Whittaker Formations[6][7]) and Nunavut (Bailie-Hamilton and Cornwallis Islands – Cape Phillips Formation[8])
- Czech Republic: Prague (Loc. 5.2 – C. colonus Zone[9])
- England: Cannock (Shelve District[10]) and Dudley (Wren's Nest – Much Wenlock Limestone Formation[11])
- France: Coumiac (Coumiac quarry – Coumiac Formation[12][13])
- Sweden: western Gotland (Visby – Rönnklint sea cliff and Kättelviken[1])
- United States: Illinois (Chicago – Racine Dolomite[14] and Kankakee – Racine Dolomite[14]), Iowa (Hopkinton Dolomite[15]), Oklahoma (Anadarko – Henryhouse Formation[16]) and Wisconsin (Milwaukee – Racine Dolomite[14])
