trilobites

Would be cool if they got there and found layer upon layer of carcasses resembling whales, fish, trilobites...

If dinosaur bones and trilobites can last hundreds of millions of years, steel and concrete should also.

It's hypothesized that the Ordovician–Silurian extiction (end of trilobites) may have been caused by a GRB.

On the other hand North Africa seems to have an abundance are ridiculously well preserved trilobites.

Now consider how many clams or trilobites existed across those hundreds of millions of years.

Given how long trilobites were around, and geographical distribution, there could be significant time and/or space distance between any specimens found.

Maybe most planets are inhabited by symbiotic colonies of advanced trilobites 20 meters long crawling the ocean floor eating the abundant sponges.

Typically these would be trilobites or shells, but also leaves and actual animal steps.

In 2025 LLMs can 'fake it' using Trilobites of memory and Petaflops.

For the longest time trilobites were competing with themselves.

Dinosaur bones and trilobites don't last very long.

This is not a claim that all trilobites were made extinct by volcanic ash, but that these fossils were the result of an ashfall, by which previously unavailable anatomical detail was preserved.

Trilobites weren't all "oh, no worries, the Cyanobacteria didn't end life on earth so we're totally fine, brah!

I believed trilobites have just evolved into "horseshoe crabs".

We will see more problems related to the attitude: "I know AI, and therefore I'm smarter than trilobites who coded this before the AI boom." I suppose there's a reason why kids are usually banned from using calculators during their first years of school when they're learning basic math.

Trilobites are very rare where I live, to the point that any find would be of huge acedemic interest.
