Extractions: * 33 research reports Editorial: Treatise Right! Rolf Ludvigsen, DIRT Its title is boring. Its appearance, dour and conservative blue. A casual browser would not be enticed to take it off the library shelf. And yet, it is, without a doubt, the most influential publication venture in paleontology ever undertaken. I am, of course, referring to the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology. This series has covered all of the invertebrate groups and the entire alphabet from A (Introduction) and B (Porifera) to V (Graptolithina) and W (Miscellanea) since Part G (Bryozoa) was published in 1953, with many additional numbered volumes and addenda. Collectively, it is an impressive compendium!. Side by side, the Treatise volumes published to date must take up a metre and a half of shelf space (my partial set occupies 80 cm). A Treatise volume is used not only by specialists, but also by other paleontologists, by biologists, by earth scientists and, significantly, by students. The Treatise is accepted by each of these groups to be the most authoritative statement on the characteristics of a fossil group, its nature, its distribution, and its classification. All of the volumes are now being revised.

Extractions: Peripatus Home Page Paleontology Page Trilobite Page Updated: 20 Dec 2002 This page reviews available information about the phylogenetic relationships and possible origins of the Trilobita. Keywords: Trilobita, trilobite origins, Fallotaspididae, Olenellids, Olenellina, Redlichiida, Eofallotaspis Profallotaspis The big problem with the earliest known trilobites, is that they are trilobites. That is to say, their earliest representatives are distinctly and emphatically trilobites, and they do not look like anything else. They provide few clues to which other arthropod groups may be their close relatives, or to their origins. The earliest occurring trilobites in the fossil record are the Olenellids, members of the order Redlichiida , suborder Olenellina, and particularly the Fallotaspididae. Contenders for "first trilobite" are Eofallotaspis tioutensis Sdzuy 1978 from the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco and Profallotaspis jakutensis Repina 1965 from southeast Siberia.

Extractions: Peripatus Home Page Paleontology Page Updated: 15 Mar 2003 This page offers a brief, informal introduction to the trilobites, including links to some more rigorous treatments. Some observations on purchasing your own specimens over the Internet are offered. Keywords: trilobite, Trilobita, Fallotaspididae, Redlichiida, Agnostus Fallotaspis Terataspis Trilobites are extinct, exclusively marine arthropods index fossils They appear suddenly in great abundance in the Cambrian , and evolved into a wonderful diversity, particularly during the Ordovician , before gradually dwindling away towards extinction some 300 million years later, in the Permian. An understanding of their history is central to any hypothesis of the development of the marine biosphere during the early Paleozoic. Further Reading Related Pages Other Web Sites Trilobites are characterised by a generally subelliptical, dorsal, chitinous exoskeleton divided longitudinally into three distinct lobes, a central elevated region and two less elevated lateral regions that run for most of the length of the body, hence their naming. (The name "trilobite" does not refer to the head, thorax and tail, which are found in many arthropods, but to the longitudinal division.)

Extractions: Collection Strengths More than 60% of the Section's collections are from the United States. Of the remainder, 38% were collected from Western Europe, and about 2% from elsewhere. Twenty-five percent of the Section's U.S. collections are from Pennsylvania. An additional 35% are from Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, and Montana. Over the last 20 years the Section's collections have been the focus of some 25 Ph.D. dissertations and over 35 Master's theses.

Extractions: The Section of Invertebrate Paleontology houses more than a half million specimens of invertebrate fossils, including more than 4,000 type specimens. The collections are constituted mainly of Paleozoic specimens from the United States with emphasis on the Carboniferous System, but also includes the largest collection of the Jurassic Solnhofen Limestone in North America, invertebrates from the Bear Gulch plattenkalk of Montana, and Devonian siliceous sponges of the Appalachian Basin. Current research emphases of the Section deal with paleobiology of late Paleozoic trilobites, biostratigraphy of Appalachian Cambrian trilobites, and late Paleozoic reef ecology and biodiversity.

Extractions: Trilobites occupy a special place in the hearts of collectors and professionals alike. To these cohorts: "trilobites are very pretty". Riccardo Levi- Setti in his book " Trilobites " describes them as the butterflies of seas. Richard Fortey's more recent book " Trilobite! Eyewitness to Evolution " wonderfully projects this professional paleontologist's love of trilobites. There are also many wonderful websites that reflect a labor of love of the webmaster; particularly among these is Sam Gon's site, " A Guide to the Orders of Trilobites " that is, at once, artistic and a distilation a huge amount of science into concise, non-recondite language and illustrations. I'm sure Sam's site has and will continue to increase the number of people who consider that trilobites are very pretty.

Extractions: Stratigraphic Range: Lower Cambrian to Upper Permian. Distribution: Worldwide. Description: Trilobites were some of the first multicellular animals to live in the world's oceans. Their fossil record extends back 530 million years to the early part of the Cambrian Period and indicates that trilobites evolved rapidly in the shallow seas of this time. In fact, trilobite fossils are so common in Cambrian rocks that the Cambrian Period is sometimes called the age of trilobites. Ogygopsis sp., a common Middle Cambrian fossil from the Burgess Shale, a world-famous fossil locality in eastern British Columbia. The numerous, exceptionally preserved fossils from the Burgess Shale have provided paleontologists with a glimpse of the diversity in the early evolution of multicellular life. Although trilobite diversity went down following the major extinction event at the end of the Ordovican Period (about 440 million years ago) and again during a series of extinctions in the Middle to Late Devonian Period (about 350 million years ago), trilobites have one of the most extensive fossil records of any group of animals. Thousands of species are known, leading some to call trilobites the beetles of the

Extractions: Linda Petrone, Public Outreach Coordinator at the museum, makes traveling presentations at most of the grade schools, public and private, within a 15 mile radius of the museum. Students at the schools engage in an hour-long interactive presentation about the museum accompanied by a slide show of some of the displays. They also get a chance to see and actually get their hands on some of these ancient bones. Presentation take place on Fridays at a time requested by a teacher. The presentation is geared to preschool through first grade students. The cost is $30.00 for a maximum number of 60 students. Numerous public and private schools visit the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology each year; they come from a variety of places including San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County and as far away as Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Lancaster. Museum tours are offered from September through May and are scheduled for Monday through Thursday mornings. Each one lasts approximately 1 1/2 hours long and costs $30.00 per classroom of students. Docents can adapt tours for as young as 2nd graders to as old as college students, and arrangements for special groups and adults can also be made.

Life on land was getting interesting, but the trilobites were fading out. It seems that trilobites did better in eras named after Wales.
