[O06-P21] Create Identification chart of Trilobite

*shota sakamoto1, *taiyo komatubara1 (1. Saitama Prefectural Kasukabe High School)

Keywords:trilobites, simplified chart


In order to help anyone easily identify trilobites,we have created a simplified chart based on the shape characteristics of each order.
Last year,our seniors created the first chart.However, since there was only one type of trilobite in our school,we did not have a chance to check whether we had identified it correctly.
This year, we had an opportunity to observe trilobites at the Institute for Evorutionary Biology at the Tokyo University of Agriculture, which owns trilobite fossils. We tested whether we could identify them using the chart we created. Finally, we created a new chart addressing the problems of the previous version, as well as supplementary materials.
