Biceratops
''Biceratops'' is an extinct genus of trilobites, fossil marine arthropods, of average size (largest specimen long), not including the huge pleural spines of the 3rd segment of the thorax. It lived during the Toyonian stage (last phase of the Upper ''Olenellus''-zone), in what is today the South-Western United States. ''Biceratops'' can easily be distinguished from other trilobites by the absence of genal spines, in combination with effaced features of the raised axial area of the head shield (or glabella), that is bordering the two horn-like projections that carry the eyes. ''Biceratops nevadensis'' is the only known species in this genus (i.e. the genus is monotypic). == Etymology == The name of the genus is derived from Latin and means ‘two horned-eyes’. The species epithet refers to the US state where it was collected.〔
