Trilobite
Definition:
(n.) 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.
Example Sentences:
(1) In which case, now you suddenly realise that trilobites have bloody good eyes, so maybe they were there too!
(2) Wow!” (Graptolites and trilobites are long-extinct marine animals).
(3) The thick lenses in the aggregate eyes of a group of trilobites were double structures designed to eliminate spherical aberration.

(9) The question posed, the geometric optical method used and the results presented are of general importance, and not only with respect to vision in the bug Notonecta, but also in the fossil trilobites, or in the wave guide theories which have been employed in similar modelling problems, in design of system of lenses without spherical aberration, for example.
