  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Trilobite  \Tri"lo*bite\  (tr[imac]"l[-o]*b[imac]t),  n.  [Cf.  F. 
  trilobite.  See  {Trilobate}.]  (Paleon.) 
  Any  one  of  numerous  species  of  extinct  arthropods  belonging 
  to  the  order  Trilobita.  Trilobites  were  very  common  in  the 
  Silurian  and  Devonian  periods,  but  became  extinct  at  the 
  close  of  the  Paleozoic.  So  named  from  the  three  lobes  usually 
  seen  on  each  segment.
