subdivision = TrilobitaThe Trilobitomorpha ("three-lobed forms") is a subphylum of the phylumArthropod a that includes thetrilobite s. Originally a variety of peculiar forms, mostly from the lowerCambrian , were included as the Class Trilobitoidea. However, the many species—known only from fossils—do not appear to be closely related to the trilobites or, in many cases, to each other either, and are now generally placed in separate subphyla when classified at all. The Trilobite was a primarily water basedarthropod .
