Order Marrellida
That's no trilobite. this unique order of arthropods is in a order of their own and are just as related to trilobites as insects are. Marella was an order of arthropods that lived during the Mid Cambrian period. It is thought they were simple bottom-dwelling scavengers that lived on detrital material, it is also though that they molted.
