Uncovering How Trilobites Survived an Environmental Catastrophe
It turns out that trilobites, the ancient arthropods that roamed the oceans millions of years ago, may have been tougher than previously thought. In a new study published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, scientists have found evidence that trilobites were capable of surviving even the most extreme environmental conditions. This new research shows that these ancient creatures were hardy enough to hang in there during some of the most turbulent times in Earth’s history. This discovery could help us better understand how life on Earth has evolved over time and what kind of creatures may have been able to survive the toughest of times.
