Arcticalymene

Description

Arcticalymene is a genus of trilobites found in Silurian-aged marine strata of Arctic Canada and Central Victoria, Australia. The Canadian species are named after each of the Sex Pistols: A. cooki (Paul Cook), A. jonesi (Steve Jones), A. matlocki (Glen Matlock), A. rotteni (Johnny Rotten) and A. viciousi (Sid Vicious), all named by Adrian and Edgecombe in 1997.
