Phacops, a genus of ancient aquatic arthropods known as trilobites, can be found as fossils in Silurian and Devonian rocks, dating back to approximately 359 million to 444 million years ago, primarily in Europe and North America. These prehistoric marine creatures were bottom dwellers and are related to modern day horse shoe crabs. With a hard, segmented exoskeleton, they were able to roll up like modern roly-polies. Crotalocephalus, another genus of trilobite, inhabited various regions from the Late Silurian to the Early Devonian, including Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe.
