Why did scientists use trilobites as index fossils?
Scientists used trilobites as index fossils because they were abundant, had a wide distribution, and had a relatively short existence in the fossil record. This made them useful for correlating rock layers from different locations and determining the relative ages of the rocks.
Why do scientists study trilobites?
So that we can learn more about ancient earth.
How do Paleontologists use the remains of the Trilobites?
Paleontologists use the fossils of different aged trilobites to identify the age of rock formations and fossils in other locations. Similar trilobites found in British Columbia as found in Asia would indicate the rock was nearly the same age from both sites. May also mean that the two locations were once close together, but moved away due to plate tectonics.
What did the anomalocaris eat?

Are trilobites used as index fossils?

How we know trilobites existed?
The fossils of their shells, etc.
Which came first trilobites or ammonites how did you know?
Trilobites are older than ammonites, with trilobites appearing first in the fossil record about 521 million years ago during the Cambrian period, while ammonites appeared later, around 400 million years ago during the Devonian period. Scientists determine the age of fossils based on their position in rock layers and radiometric dating techniques.
When was The Trilobites created?
The Trilobites was created in 1984.
Did trilobites bite?
Trilobites did not have jaws, therefore they could not bite.

Where do trilobites live?
Where DID trilobites live? In the ocean, between 530 million and 250 million years ago.
