Trilobites Link, 1807 is a disused genus of trilobites, the species of which are now all assigned to other genera. [1] [2] T. alatus = Sphaerophthalmus alatus; T. desideratus = Paradoxides gracilis; T. elliptifrons = Acernaspis elliptifrons [3] T. emarginata = Isoctomesa emarginata; T. hoffi = Ellipsocephalus hoffi; T. limbatus = Megistaspis ...
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]
Asaphiscus wheeleri, a trilobite from the Cambrian Wheeler shale of Utah. This list of trilobites is a comprehensive listing of all genera that have ever been included in the Arthropod class Trilobita, excluding purely vernacular terms.
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]
The Artiopoda is a grouping of extinct arthropods that includes trilobites and their close relatives. It was erected by Hou and Bergström in 1997 [5] to encompass a wide diversity of arthropods that would traditionally have been assigned to the Trilobitomorpha. Trilobites, in part due to abundance of findings owing to their mineralized ...

Proetidae is a family of proetid trilobites.The first species appeared in the Upper Ordovician, [1] and the last genera survived until the Middle Permian.However, if the closely related family Phillipsiidae is actually a subfamily of Proetidae, then the proetids of Proetidae survive until the end of the Permian, where the last perish during the Permian–Triassic extinction event.
Triarthrus is an average size trilobite (up to about 5 centimetres or 2.0 inches) and its moderately convex body is about twice as long as wide (excluding spines). 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.
