Trilobites were among the first arthropods in the world. They represent a phylum of hard shelled creatures with multiple body segments and jointed legs. They make up an extinct class of arthropods (Trilobita), that includes over 15,000 species.
It has been reported that, in the Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountain region of Morocco, four or five new species are discovered every year. This area is considered to be the most diverse and richest source of these ancient sea creatures in the world.
