The body of the Triceratops was big and round, planted on top of short sturdy legs. It was 8 meters long, about 3 meters tall and weighed somewhere between 6 and 8 tons (the size of an elephant). Triceratops means "Three Horned Face" in Greek. It is called that because it has three horns - two above its eyes and one on its nose. It had a big frill that extended up above the head.

Why are trilobites not a powerful tool in the to discredit evolution?

Because they are powerful evidence for the Theory of Evolution. There are thousands to millions of species of trilobites. Some look like pillbugs to ones that walking pincushions. The range of trilobites grow tremendously with the fossil record. As the Cambrian Period advances the diversity of trilobites grows to massive levels. Plus they are among the oldest fossils found, about 500 million years old. They ebb and flow with current accepted extinction events too, rather than with the proposed theories presented by Creationists. It is more interesting to look at trilobites from why they support evolution. Science is about gaining support for a theory, not disproving.
