Yes!! a very astute and clever question!!! Trilobites and King/Horseshoe crabs share a proud lineage extending many millions of years. Back in the pre-triassic period, scientists believe the Genus Horseshoidae began in the deep Vandarin Delta -- what we now call the southern portion of the gobi desert - in the dark liquid mud they teemed in their millions. they fed on squidlike creatures whose delicate fossils scientists today call Mantissa. So the short answer to your question is YES! and YES!! both are all EDIBLE!

∙ 13y agoNo, although both are part of the phylum Arthropoda, horseshoe crabs (limulus) are part of the subphylum Chelicerate (Class Merostomata). Trilobites are part of the subphylum trilobita and are all extinct.
