Use in Paleontology
Mainly used in science related to fossils and ancient life, not modern biology.
Paleontologists often study trilobites to understand early marine ecosystems.
No Living Trilobites
Remember, trilobites are always extinct, so they are not found alive today.
Although trilobites resemble some modern insects, none are alive now.
Timeframe Reference
Trilobites serve as reference points for specific prehistoric time periods.
The presence of trilobites helps date the rocks to the Paleozoic era.
