Odontopleuridae is a family of odontopleurid trilobites found in marine strata throughout the world. The family is Late Cambrian to Frasnian in age.[1] The members of Odontopleuridae are known for their spinose appearance, having long, often numerous spines along the edges of their exoskeletons, and derived from ends of segments or tubercle ornaments.[2]
