Trilobites were associated with the Paleozoic era, from the Cambrian to the Permian.
The New York State fossil that is found in rocks of the same period as Manticoceras is the trilobite genus Eldredgeops. Both Manticoceras, a cephalopod, and Eldredgeops originated during the Devonian period. This period is characterized by a rich diversity of marine life, including various invertebrates. Fossils of both organisms are commonly found in Devonian rock formations in New York.

The Geologic Time Scale is broken up into several periods of time, during which there were great changes in the biodiversity on Earth. We can see distinct changes in the flora (plants) and fauna (animals of each time period. The age range of each period is determined by radiometric dating.

An organism used to identify a specific geologic time period is called an index fossil. Index fossils are used by geologists to narrow down the age of rocks and sediment layers based on the known age range of the fossil species.
Cambrian Period
Abundant fossil evidence first appeared in the geologic record during the Cambrian Period, around 541 million years ago. This period marked the rapid diversification of multicellular organisms, leading to the Cambrian Explosion, which left behind a rich fossil record of early marine life.
The Sea Scorpion (Eurypterus remipes).
The first dinosaur fossil ever found in Antarctica is called Antarctopelta. Its fossils date to the late Cretaceous period. Cryolophosaurus, the first theropod discovered in Antarctica, date back to the early Jurassic period.
Cambrian Period............by R.E
The abundant fossil evidence appeared in the geologic record around 541 million years ago during the Cambrian period when complex organisms started to evolve. This sudden appearance of diverse life forms is known as the Cambrian explosion.
