Abstract

Five species of trilobites are described from near the top of the Odins Fjord Formation in Peary Land: Opoa ostreata sp. nov., Encrinuroides palasso sp. nov. (for comparison with which the type series of Encrinuroides moderatus (Poulsen, 1934) is refigured), Distyrax peeli gen. et sp. nov. (Encrinuridae), Podowrinella christiei sp. nov. and Gaotania anoplos sp. nov. The age of the fauna and links with other faunas are discussed.
