"The large one is called Paradoxides davidis intermedious. It’s from the Paradoxides davidis Zone of the Manuels River Formation. The species is one of three sub species of Paradoxides davidis, found here. It would have grown to around 65cm in length. The Paradoxides davidis species was first discovered in Wales England. When it was later found here, at Manuel’s River, it helped confirm the theory of contental drift."

"The small cracked is called Eccaparadoxides etiminicus, from the Eccaparadoxides etiminicus Zone, of the Chamberlains Brook Formation. This zone is around 10 million (or so) years older than the first one. This species could also get quite large around the same as the first. They were also thought to be predatory trilobites because of their forward facing eyes."

"The longer brown one is called Bailiella baileyi, from the Eccaparadoxides etiminicus Zone of the Chamberlains Brook Formation (same as previous). This species was a “blind” or “eyeless” trilobite species. Because of living at deep depths and lack of light, it evolved cilia instead of eyes, to feel the movement in the water. The cilia were coming off the bumps that cover the cephalon (head). Because of their small size, they are more common then the 2 others. This one is a medium sized example, they would have maxed out around 5cm or so."
