Highlights
A late Silurian trilobite, Tetinia sp., is described from the Wulff Land Formation of the Peary Land Group in western North Greenland
Larsen during fieldwork (1984-1985) in the Peary Land Group in western North Greenland (Hurst & Surlyk, 1982; Larsen & Escher, 1985), two small trilobite elements - a cranidium and pygidium - were found on the same small slab
Both elements are proetid in character and of a similar size, so that they probably do not belong to the same individual they do probably belong to the same species
