Trilobite fossil. Fossil of a trilobite (Asaphus platyurus latisegmentatus) from the Ordovician period (around 490 to 445 million years ago). Trilobites are extinct arthropods. Asaphus trilobites were bottom-feeding scavengers or predators,found primarily in what is now Europe. Many species of Asaphus developed long eyestalks (not shown). They may have buried themselves beneath a loose substrate,with only the tips of their eyes protruding above,looking out for danger or prey | |
