Eldredgeops was a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopina. They are from the Devonian time period. This genus has recently been created from a single species derived from Phacops (originally named Phacops rana milleri) and can be found in Devonian limestone deposits in Canada, Morocco , United States (Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania), and Western Sahara.[1]
