When was The Trilobites created?
The Trilobites was created in 1984.
Which type of organism appeared for the first time during the Cambrian period?
Trilobites
Why can trilobites be used as index fossils?
Trilobites: The Index Fossil There are many thousands of known species of trilobite fossils found worldwide. Trilobites are considered to be good index fossils because they evolved so rapidly, and this allows geologists the ability to date the rocks in which the trilobites are found. The discovery of trilobites is second only to the discovery of dinosaurs, and new species of trilobites are still being discovered today.
What geologic time period was the trilobite fossil associated?
Trilobites were associated with the Paleozoic era, from the Cambrian to the Permian.
What kind of rock is best when you go fossil hunting?
The best type of rock to find fossils in is sedimentary rock this is laid down over time and will contain dead animal's, fish and crustaceans. Specific types are trilobites and brachiopods. Fossils can often be found in coal.
Is synthetic interferon used in the treatment of Hepatitis C and in some cancers?
In what time period did fish develop and trilobites rule the ocean?
How do you take care of trilobites?
Trilobites have been extinct for a long time; there are none left for us to take care of.
Ordovician time period?
The Ordovician was in the Paleozoic era, and lasted from 505 to 438 million years ago. Trilobites were common then, and the earliest jawless, bony fish.
How paleontologists use trilobites fossils as index fossils for various geologic time periods?
Trilobites were rapidly evolving and widespread marine organisms that spanned a number of geologic time periods. Certain types of trilobites only appeared in specific segments of geologic time; therefore, when one of these trilobites is found, you can be certain that the rock layer it is found in is of a certain geologic age.

When was The Trilobites created?
The Trilobites was created in 1984.
What species went extinct in the permian extinction?
All of the Trilobites, Pelycosaurs, Gorgonopsians, Dimetrodon, Edaphosaurus, Pariesaurs, most of the ammonites, amphibians, and jawless fish, plus many more.
Trilobites are index fossils because they?
because they change slowly through time
Which type of organism appeared for the first time during the Cambrian period?
Trilobites
