Guest solius symbiosus Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 In the article: Several groups of fossils contain hundreds of molted exoskeletons, and others include large numbers of creatures all of the same size — a hint that the trilobites gathered in groups during some stages of their life cycles, possibly molting or mating I read something recently about a death assemblage that was found. In it, the trilobites had formed a chain, and apparently they following each other to some location, or it was some kind of mating ritual. I'll see if I can find it.

Nicholas Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 That chain.... not unlike that other fossil chain they found last year... I forget the species but it seems entirely probable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
