- Queues of the trilobite Trimerocephalus chopini are described from the Devonian (Famennian) of Poland by Błażejowski et al. (2016), who interpret these queues as representing mass migratory chains.[121]
- Disarticulated exoskeletons of the phacopids belonging to the species Omegops cornelius preserved within a nautiloid conch are described from the Devonian Hongguleleng Formation (China) by Zong, Fan & Gong (2016), who interpret the fossils as indicating that the trilobites had moulted within the living chamber of a dead nautiloid.[122]
