ReplyDeleteThe earliest trilobite known from the fossil record dates back some 543 million years and the last trilobites became extinct about 251 million years ago. All trilobite fossils have a similar body plan, being made up of three main body parts: A head, and main body section, and tail section. So the name, trilobite, meaning three-sectioned. Genus of trilobites (an extinct group of aquatic arthropods) found as fossils in Silurian and Devonian rocks (between 359,000,000 and 444,000,000 years old) in Europe and North America. Phacops is a common and easily recognizable form, with its rounded rather than angular outline, globose head region, and large compound eyes. A common form is the species Phacops rana. The Phacops lived in the Paleozoic Era and lived from the Cambrian to the Devonian. Most Trilobite species became extinct at the end of the Devonian Age. Final extinction was in the Permian Age. The Phacops lived in the ocean.
