The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record is from about 521 million years ago and last from about 251.9 million years ago. They were very common and have easily fossilized exoskeleton, so their fossils can be found very often. |
In the comic, [[Cueball]] is digging at a site with [[Megan]], [[Ponytail]], and [[White Hat]] visible in the background. He finds and digs up a trilobite fossil and proceeds to {{wiktionary|boop#Verb|boop}} it (possibly because he thinks itโs cute?). "Booping" is when someone lightly taps another person, or sometimes an animal, on the nose while saying "boop", typically to annoy or as a form of endearment. In panel 2, the fossil is shown with the trilobite head pointed away from Cueball. In panel 3 he boops the head section, likely aiming for where the nose would be, if one were to imagine a trilobite having a nose. The anatomical part of the trilobite being "booped" is referred to as the glabella by palaeontologists. The Glabella is located in the center of the cephalon (head), where one would expect a nose to be located. | In the comic, [[Cueball]] is digging at a site with [[Megan]], [[Ponytail]], and [[White Hat]] visible in the background.
