Basic anatomy of a trilobite. Waukeshaaspis was a modest sized trilobite, with an average length of around 60 mm (6 cm) long, with sizes going down to at least 9 mm (0.9 cm). [3] The cephalon of the trilobite was semi-circular, and possessed very long genal spines that extended down to the beginning of the pygidium. [3]

Trilobites evolved into many ecological niches; some moved over the seabed as predators, scavengers, or filter feeders, and some swam, feeding on plankton. Some even crawled onto land. [7] Most lifestyles expected of modern marine arthropods are seen in trilobites, with the possible exception of parasitism (where scientific debate continues). [8]

Like in all Olenidae, the headshield (or cephalon ) of Triarthrus has opisthoparian sutures , and the right and left free cheeks that they define are yoked.
