Semadiscus
''Semadiscus'' is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It has been collected from the Lower Cambrian (early Botomian) of Canada (Newfoundland), Russia (Siberia, Gorno-Altaysk), and the United States (New York State). Only the headshield (or cephalon) is known, and it may well be that it would be better to included it in ''Serrodiscus''. == Description == Like all Agnostida, ''Semadiscus'' is diminutive. Like all Weymouthiidae, ''Semadiscus'' lacks eyes and rupture lines (or sutures). The cephalon is semi-elliptical. The central raised area (or glabella) tapers forward, and the space between its front and the furrow that defines the border is as wide as the frontal border. It carries a stout backward-directed spine that is as long and ⅓× as wide as the glabella. The border is narrow (about ⅛× the length of the cephalon excluding the spine) but only half as wide at the back corners of the cephalon (or genal angles). The articulate middle part of the body (or thorax) and tailshield (or pygidium) are unknown.
