Salterolithus is a genus of trilobites of the order Asaphida. It is in the family Trinucleidae and was named after British geologist J.W. Salter.[1]
Fossil specimens have been found in the Upper Ordovician rocks of Wales and central England.
This trilobite was blind but anatomical evidence suggests it sifted organic matter on the seabed.
