The accurate interpretation of trilobite moulting behaviour relies on a comprehensive understanding of their moult configurations, yet the focus has commonly been limited to a brief description of the exuviae, and how differences in moulting behaviour further impact the preservation of exuviae is often ignored. This study investigates the configuration, style, and process of moulting in Oryctocephalus indicus through analysis of 88 exuviae collected from the Kaili Formation (Cambrian, Wuliuan) in Guizhou Province, South China. The moult configurations of O. indicus are typically characterised by the lower cephalic unit (LCU), which comprises the librigenae and rostral-hypostomal plate connected as a whole, detached from the cephalon and positioned anterior to the thoracopygon, while the cranidium is mostly absent. From detailed observation and description of the available material, we believe that O. indicus completes its moult through an exuvial gape formed by disarticulation of the facial sutures, rostral sutures and/or sutures of the cephalothoracic joints. Although many exuviae exhibited an opening at the cephalothoracic joint-disjunction of which is usually accompanied by disarticulation of both the facial and rostral sutures- the Salter's configuration produced by the 'Salterian' mode of moulting was not observed. Additionally, the structural characteristics of Henningsmoen's configuration, Harrington's configuration, and Somersault's configuration are discussed based on the exuviae of O. indicus, and Henningsmoen's configuration has been categorised into three types according to the different states of fossil preservation. In this article, apart from promoting further research on moulting behaviour in O. indicus, we also provide a supplement for moult configuration based on the exuviae, which offers new materials for studying moulting behaviour in oryctocephalid trilobites.
