Facts about Trilobites 🦐 (ancient marine animals): 🌊 What Were Trilobites? Trilobites were extinct marine arthropods (relatives of crabs, spiders, and insects). They lived in the oceans for about 270 million years. Their name means “three-lobed” because their bodies were divided into three long sections. 🕰️ When Did They Live? Trilobites appeared around 521 million years ago during the Cambrian Period. They went extinct about 252 million years ago during the Permian mass extinction. 🧩 Body Structure Their bodies had three main parts: Head (Cephalon) Middle body (Thorax) Tail (Pygidium) They had a hard outer shell (exoskeleton) made of calcite, which fossilized easily. 👀 Amazing Eyes Trilobites had some of the first complex eyes in animal history. Their eyes were made of crystal-like calcite lenses, which helped them see underwater. 🍽️ Diet Some trilobites were scavengers, feeding on dead organisms. Others were predators or filter feeders. 🏃 Movement & Defense They crawled on the sea floor and some could swim. Many trilobites could roll into a ball like a pill bug to protect themselves. 🦕 Fossil Importance Trilobites are among the most common and important fossils. Scientists use them to help date ancient rock layers. #prehistoric ,#prehistoriclife ,#prehistoricjourney ,#prehistoricthriller ,#prehistoricanimal ,#prehistoricmonsters ,#prehistoricperiod ,#animals ,#animalshorts ,#animallovers ,#animalfacts ,#animallife ,#kidslearning ,#kidsvideo ,#kidseducation ,#kidsvideos ,#kidsfun ,#kidsentertainment ,#kidseducation ,
