Well they appeared in the Precambrian Era, as bacteria. The Paleozoic, as trilobites, brachiopods and fish.
the Mesoic period
The first trilobites appear about the same time in Siberian, Moroccan and North American strata of about 524 million years of age, at the start of series 2 of the Cambrian Period. The first trilobites include fallotaspidoids Profallotaspis, Eofallotaspis, and Fritzaspis, but also include an ellipsocephaloid, Hupetina. For the role of trilobites in biostratigraphy, see this page: http://www.trilobites.info/biostratigraphy.htm
Trilobites appear about 524 million years ago. The "First Appearence Datum" (FAD) of trilobites defines the start of the 2nd Epoch of the Cambrian Period. Trilobites therefore play a very important role in biostratigraphy of the Paleozoic.
Primitive Fish,Trilobites,Orthocones and Horseshoe crabs lived in the silurian
Who?
pterygotus, brontoscorpio,jaekelopterus,cephalaspis, cameracaras,endoceras,stromatopora.
The Trilobites was created in 1984.
All of the Trilobites, Pelycosaurs, Gorgonopsians, Dimetrodon, Edaphosaurus, Pariesaurs, most of the ammonites, amphibians, and jawless fish, plus many more.
Trilobites did not have jaws, therefore they could not bite.
In what time period did fish develop and trilobites rule the ocean?
Trilobites are extinct but they were marine animals.
