Trilobites lived mainly in shallow seas near to the continents, although the continents we see today are not the same as they were when trilobites lived.
Parts of the shallow seas in which they lived are now above sea level which is why we now find their fossils on dry land.
Some areas now have trilobite fossils next to different rocks which contain totally different fossil trilobites showing that, at one time, there would have been an ocean separating them.
Areas where you would find the fossils include USA, Canada, Norway, UK, Europe, Morocco, Myanmar (Burma), Russia and many other countries.
Trilobite fossils are found in rocks dating back to the Cambrian period. They are commonly found in locations such as the Burgess Shale in Canada, Morocco, and the Czech Republic. Trilobites lived in ancient oceans and their fossils are often preserved in marine sedimentary rocks.
Trilobites usually lived underwater, in seas during Paleozoic Era. They would crawl on the ocean floor or dig under the sand.
They are currently extinct, but they were found in the Cambrian period. did i help?
Trilobite fossils have been found at various sites in the United Kingdom. It appeared that trilobites were marine animals and lived only in the water.
It would most likely to be found in the desert like every other most likely. I hope I helped.

Are Trilobites found in fresh water salt water or dry land?
Salt water. They may have possibly lived in fresh water. However, no fresh water fossils of trilobites have ever been recorded nor found. They were oceanic creatures :)
When was The Trilobites created?
The Trilobites was created in 1984.
Why can trilobites be used as index fossils?
Trilobites: The Index Fossil There are many thousands of known species of trilobite fossils found worldwide. Trilobites are considered to be good index fossils because they evolved so rapidly, and this allows geologists the ability to date the rocks in which the trilobites are found. The discovery of trilobites is second only to the discovery of dinosaurs, and new species of trilobites are still being discovered today.
Are there trilobites in Aruba's volcanic rock?
No, trilobites are marine creatures that lived during the Paleozoic era, millions of years ago. Aruba's volcanic rocks are much younger in age and do not contain fossils of trilobites.
Did humans descend from trilobites?
Yes they did.
How paleontologists use trilobites fossils as index fossils for various geologic time periods?
Trilobites were rapidly evolving and widespread marine organisms that spanned a number of geologic time periods. Certain types of trilobites only appeared in specific segments of geologic time; therefore, when one of these trilobites is found, you can be certain that the rock layer it is found in is of a certain geologic age.

How do you make trilobite?
You don't. Trilobites are extinct and are only found as fossils.

Where did trilobites exist on earth and why?
a trilobite is an hard shell and it was found 230 millions years ago...
Did trilobites bite?
Trilobites did not have jaws, therefore they could not bite.
What is the meaning of phacups?
It is one of the most common species that is a genus of trilobites found in the Silurian and Devonian formations.
Are Trilobites land animals or water animals?
Trilobites are extinct but they were marine animals.
How do trilobites reproduce?
Scientists believe that trilobites reproduced sexually. These prehistoric and extinct creatures were a type of arthropod that probably laid eggs. Trilobites lived about 250 million years ago.
