This is four of some of the neater trilobites in the case. The case held dozens of trilobites. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the name of the guy on the lower right. If you know, please let me know!

The ??? might be a trilobite and a crinoid, or perhaps an as yet unidentified species.
Trilobites are interesting little critters, as are their predators, the anomalocarids and the first primitive fishes. The fun ones are the ones that are found curled up like pill bugs.

Creepy, but really cool at the same time.

I do believe they are, or at the very least, a descendant of trilobites.
Yes, horseshoe crabs are the closest living relatives to the trilobites c:
