A new study found that a trilobite species from upstate New York had an extra pair of legs underneath its head.
This discovery suggests that having a fifth pair of head appendages might be more common among trilobites than previously believed.
The study contributes to a better understanding of how trilobite heads are segmented.
Trilobites are extinct arthropods, related to modern-day lobsters and spiders.
Their bodies are composed of multiple segments, including the head, thorax, and tail.
Each segment is associated with appendages, serving various functions like sensing, feeding, and locomotion.
