Carolinites
''Carolinites'' is a genus of trilobite, assigned to the Telephinidae family, that occurs during the Lower and Middle Ordovician. ''Carolinites'' had an pantropical distribution, and there is evidence that it lived in upper parts of the water column. The free cheeks of ''Carolinites'' are largely covered by its huge eyes, except for the attachment of large genal spines that extend downward, backward and lateral and gradually curving further backward. The glabella is slightly bulbous, the occipital ring is well defined, but further transglabellar furrows are lacking. The thorax has 10 segments. The axis of the pygidium is highly vaulted, with a curved spine emerging almost perpendicular to the midline and ending parallel to it and a node on each of the other three segments.〔Whittington, H. B. et al. (1997) Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. Part O, Revised, Volume 1 – Trilobita – Introduction, Order Agnostida, Order Redlichiida.〕 ''Carolinites'' is known from what are today Australia (Tasmania), Canada (Alberta), China, France, Spitsbergen, and the United States (Utah).
== Etymology ==
''Carolinites'' has been named after Caroline Creek in Tasmania, the type locality of ''C. bulbosa''.
