Reedops and Phacops trilobites share many similarities.
Reedops can range in length from 1 to 3 inches and showcase compound, multi-faceted eyes that resemble those of a bee's.
These ocean creatures inhabited shallow coastal environments, feeding on mollusks and utilizing opportunistic scavenging. Trilobites are one of the most successful groups of arthropods on earth, existing for a total of almost 270 million years.
