particular, were trilobites. Trilobites are extinct but are closely related to horseshoe crabs, who are on the endangered species list. The most obvious similarity is they are both aquatic species. Trilobites and horseshoe crabs side by side comparison shows a close match in both shape, elliptical, and size as well as having a tail. Eurypterid, also known as sea scorpions, and scorpions are relatives to trilobites and horseshoe crabs. Scorpions do not share the same outer shell shape as trilobites or horseshoe

Houston Museum of Natural Science features Trilobites from the Middle Devonian, which were found in Silica Shale in Lucas County of Ohio. This particular genus of trilobites, “Eldredgeops milleri,” have large eyes containing a separately set lenses without a common cornea. Its thorax has 11 segments. Trilobites are some of the earliest known arthropods. Since these particular trilobites had good vision, I imagine that they were one of the few genus of trilobites that were either predators or scavengers

Part A Most likely environments for sedimentary formation Limestone containing ammonites Likely from the cretaceous, formed with the transgression and regression of ocean waters, possibly 70-100 million years ago at which time the sea transgressed and regressed a number of times. The presence of the ammonites suggests that the formation was from the upper Cretaceous period. Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed largely of calcite and aragonite, which are both different forms of calcium carbonate

Cambrian period 543-490 million years Introduction The Cambrian Period marks the beginning of the Paleozoic Era. This period gets its name from a place in Wales where the first examples of this type of ancient life was found. The period lasted for nearly 53 million years, from about 543 million years ago until 490 million years ago. The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on earth; it is the time when most of the major groups

Even though, it share similarity to the other region in the Western Northern America province, what make Death Valley unique is the characters of the mountains and desert valleys are in a grand scale than the others. In addition, varies rock type and formation which include volcanic, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks makes the valley a great place for geological study (Green, 1997, p. 9). Today’s Death Valley we see has taken millions of years to take its present form. In this paper, we examining

Universal Statement: There 5 classes of Arthropods. There are the Myriapods, Trilobites, Chelicerates, Crustaceans, and Insects. The Myriapods are many footed and have one to two pairs of appendages per body segment. They are the centipedes and millipedes. Trilobites are extinct and we only have their fossils. Chelicerates are the Arachnids and anything with eight legs. Crustaceans are the crabs and anything with ten or more legs. The insects are the ones with 3 pairs of legs and body regions. They

insight into what the characters are thinking. In contrast, Breece D’J Pancake uses the first-person singular perspective a lot in most of his works as is displayed in “Trilobites” and “Time and Again.” Furthermore, Pancake extensively uses dialogue in his stories to present the thoughts of the characters as is the case in “Trilobites”. O’Connor also extensively uses humor in her

A fossil Lagerstätten is a form of sedimentary deposit that is of high value due to the fossils that it contains (Clarkson, 1998). The geological horizons containing these deposits were named by the German Palaeontologist Adolf Seilacher in 1985 (Nudds & Seldon, 2008), ‘Lager’ meaning Stratum and ‘Stätte’ meaning place (Allaby, 2013). Palaeontologists divide fossil Lagerstätten into two types; Konservant-Lagerstätten (Nudds & Seldon, 2008), or conservation deposits, are horizons that show exceptional

years ago when cambrian times started the earth was covered in shallow seas ancient continents lie south of the equator. The cambrian explosion of life created vast amounts of life on earth under water. The first invertebrates with shells such as trilobites and mollusks appear. The Ozone layer starts to

The Evolution of Animals Eukaryotes come in two grades of organization: single-celled (protists) and multicellular (plants, animals, and fungi). The world today is full of complex multicellular plants and animals: how, why, and when did they evolve from protists? Proterozoic Protists A single-celled eukaryote or protist can carry chlorophyll (it can be an autotrophic, photosynthetic, "alga"), it can eat other organisms (it can be an organotrophic, "protozoan" "animal"), or it may do both
