Nerudia

Nerudia is a genus of extinct trilobites belonging to the family Dikelocephalidae. These trilobites lived during the Late Cambrian period. Fossils of Nerudia have been found in North America, particularly in regions of present-day Wisconsin and Minnesota. Nerudia is characterized by its relatively large size and distinctive cephalic features, including prominent genal spines. Further detailed classification and morphological descriptions can be found in paleontological literature concerning Cambrian trilobites. The genus name is likely derived from a geographic location associated with the discovery of its fossils.
