One notable extinct arthropod from the Paleozoic era is the trilobite. These marine creatures were diverse and abundant, with a wide range of sizes and forms, thriving in the oceans from the Cambrian to the Permian periods. Trilobites are characterized by their three-lobed body structure and are often used as index fossils for dating and correlating the age of rock layers. Their extinction occurred around 252 million years ago during the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
