Trilobites were extremely successful and diverse arthropods that lived for almost 300 million years, survived several mass exintction events, and dominated almost every ecological niche in Paleozoic seas! In this video, I discuss th extinction events trilobites survived, the impact of these extinction events on trilobite diversity and abundance, why trilobites were so successful and long lived, and what finally led to the extinction of the trilobites at the end of the Permian during the greatest extinction event of all time, the Great Dying! Hope you enjoy ;) • The 'First Predator' video I mention at the end is not public yet, it is channel member-only for the time being, but it will come out for everyone next week (7/30)! ;D • GEO GIRL Website: https://www.geogirlscience.com/ (visit my website to see all my courses, shop merch, learn more about me, donate to support the channel if you'd like!) • 0:00 When Did Trilobites Live? • 1:49 Extinction Events that Trilobites Survived • 5:06 Trilobite Evolution Extinctions by Order • 8:27 Did Trilobites Survive the Great Dying? • 9:13 Why Were Trilobites So Successful? • 12:18 Why Did Trilobites Go Extinct? • 14:18 Were Trilobites the Most Successful Animals? • References: • Prothero, 2013 (Bringing Fossils to Life: An Introduction to Paleobiology), references therein: https://amzn.to/3nU0ada • Amazing Trilobite website: https://www.trilobites.info/triloclas... • Fortey, 2004 (The Lifestyles of the Trilobites): https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net... • Ortega-Hernández et al., 2013 (early trilobite enrolment): https://doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2013.0679 • Fortey, 2014 (palaeoecology of trilobites): https://doi.org/10.1111/jzo.12108 • Holmes Budd, 2022 (Reassessing a cryptic history of early trilobite evolution): https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-022-04... • Bond and Grasby, 2017: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.20... • Kidder Worsley, 2010: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.20... • McGhee et al., 2013: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2012... • Twitchett, 2006: doi:10.1016/j.palaeo.2005.05.019 • Earth System History: https://amzn.to/3v1Iy0G • Hey there, Earth enthusiast!
