Real-world information[edit]
Trilobites were one of the earliest groups of arthropods, and one of the most successful groups of early animals. They first appeared 521 million years ago in the Cambrian period, already highly diverse. Their biodiversity, combined with wide geographic ranges and easily fossilized exoskeletons, lend to an extensive fossil record, with over 20,000 species in ten orders described over their almost 300 million years in existence. They suffered a slow decline through the upper Devonian; only four families from the order Proetida survived the Devonian period, and by the end of the Permian, only four genera from two families (Brachymetopidae and Phillipsiidae) remained. These last two families went extinct during the Permian-Triassic extinction 252 million years ago, which was the largest mass extinction in the history of Earth, killing 96% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species.
