Paradoxididae ("Paradoxes") is a family of redlichiid trilobites from the Middle Cambrian. They were very large trilobites, reaching up to a foot in length in some species. They were found throughout the world, with their fossils found in eastern North America, especially in Newfoundland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Morocco.
In life, they were bottom feeders.
