Additional Information
Kootenia, particularly Kootenia spencei, is a notable fossil found within the Burgess Shale-type deposits of the Spence Shale in Utah. This trilobite, belonging to the order Corynexochida, is characterized by its distinctive features, including a prominent glabella and often well-preserved thoracic and pygidial segments. Specimens from the Spence Shale sometimes exhibit delicate details and even their characteristic spines, making them valuable for paleontological research. The presence of Kootenia in the Spence Shale contributes to our understanding of the diverse arthropod fauna that thrived in the shallow marine environments of the Middle Cambrian period in this region.
