Trilobites were one of the best examples of index fossils because they were present for a relatively shorter period of time and were widely distributed. They were found to be existed only in the Paleozoic era.

The trilobites were efficient in dating rocks in which they were found to be embedded. I helped in determining the age of the rocks. They also provided sufficient data regarding the early climate and the food habitat of these organisms in the past. Thus, these data enabled the Paleontologists to reconstruct the paleoclimate.

These fossils also helped in the correlation of rocks, thereby helping in the field of biostratigraphy

evidence and logical support is essential for a scientist to do in order to maintain credibility. this is because no one can believe without any logic and without any evidence.hence a scientist can maintain credibility by proving himself and by answering logically so experiments prove very beneficial. logical hypothesis give conclusion which is acceptable. therefore, there are two main factors to maintain credibility by a scientist is evidence and logical support.
