These ancient arthropods ruled the seas from the PreCambrian Era to the Permian Extinction (a time period spanning 300 million years). They were by far the most successful multicellular species to grace the planet having diversified to fill many ecological niches while retaining their original basic body design. They left no direct descendents, however.
