Distinctive three-lobed, three-segmented forms easily identify members of this extinct group of fossil arthropods. These marine animals first appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian Period, about 542 million years ago. They quickly dominated the ancient seas.

They lived during the middle Devonian period. Populations inhabited large marine basins across New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Iowa, Oklahoma, and southwestern Ontario.

They hunted microscopic organisms, small worms, and tiny shrimp. They acted as opportunistic bottom scavengers, consuming decaying organic matter and filtering rich sediment.
