Asaphus is a genus of extinct trilobites from the Ordovician period (approximately 500 to 450 million years ago). The trilobites lived in the seas of the then-continent Baltica. Fossils of these trilobites are mainly found in Eastern Europe. The genus Asaphus belongs to the order Asaphida. Trilobites of this genus are typically between three and ten centimeters long, with a smooth cephalon that is clearly separated from the glabellum. The segments of the pygidium are fused in this genus. The species within the genus Asaphus were benthic predators or detritivores.
These animals lived in our world's oceans long before there were even dinosaurs.
