Trilobites became extinct about 250 million years ago, in the Mesozoic Era.
Trilobites lived in the Palaeozoic era, between 300 and 500 million years ago.
The Trilobites.
Trilobites
Trilobites first appeared in the fossil record in the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period. The fist brachiopods likewise first appeared in the Early Cambrian era.
Three types of marine animals in the Paleozoic Era were trilobites, brachiopods, and archaeocyathids.
Trilobites were associated with the Paleozoic era, from the Cambrian to the Permian.
Trilobites originated during the Cambrian era, flourished through the Paleozoic era, declined during the Devonian era, and finally became extinct in the Permean mass extinction event. In total there were live trilobites on the earth for about 290 million years.

The Trilobites was created in 1984.
trilobites appeared about 524 million years ago. We found this out by using relative dating (which is comparing the age of two fossils) and the most reliable absolute age (which tells you how old the fossil is by measuring radioactivity. The more radioactivity the older the fossil)
some trilobites can curl up into a ball to protect themselfs
