Trilobites are considered extinct because they disappeared from the fossil record approximately 252 million years ago at the end of the Permian period, during the largest mass extinction event in Earth's history. Despite their once widespread presence in marine environments, they could not adapt to the dramatic changes in climate and ocean chemistry that followed. No living descendants have been found, and their unique characteristics, such as their segmented bodies and compound eyes, are only preserved in fossil form. Thus, their complete absence from contemporary ecosystems solidifies their status as extinct.
