How the nation’s top student section got its name

ANTHROPOLOGY Program turns 100 with special events

A unique student housing property with a “No Party policy” and innovative amenities and services thrives in Tucson also went to the Corn Maze for Halloween and to the “International Festival of Tucson”. And that was just for October!

Sahara is still the only student building in Tucson that will give every resident a FREE bicycle to ride while living at Sahara. We even maintain and repair the bikes for free. And Sahara is the only student building that takes its residents grocery and mall shopping every weeknight.

Sahara Apartments is in its 10th year of operation as a student housing project in Tucson. Ted Mehr, the owner of Sahara Apartments, has introduced a lot of innovations to the Tucson student housing market.

Ted, who still manages the building on a day to day basis, developed this project as the “paranoid” father of a college age daughter, who was concerned about his own daughter’s safety and comfort when she had gone to live on her own while attending college.

Some of Ted’s ideas have been duplicated by others, and some are still unique to Sahara.

For example, Sahara is still the only building that does not allow parties on site. Our motto is “The oasis for QUIET student living”. At Sahara you are guaranteed a quiet environment. If anyone violates the rules, the residents can call the owner, Ted, no matter what time of day or night. And he will drive down to the building to make sure the violators understand that the policy is really enforced.

When students move into Sahara, they get Ted’s cell phone AND home phone numbers, you know, just in case the cell phone runs out of battery right when someone needs to call. All residents are encouraged to call Ted if they feel uncomfortable about anything.

That sort of attitude is not something that you will get from the corporate-owned high rise competition.

In case you think our no party policy means no fun, you should know that Sahara has an activity director who organizes many group activities sponsored by Sahara where the residents get an opportunity to get together and do fun things as a group. For instance at the time of this writing, for the month of October, we took our residents to Mt. Lemmon for the October Fest, Sabino Canyon for a 13 mile hike, “Tucson Meet Yourself” event downtown, had a game night on site with free food and refreshments, and a movie night. We

Sahara is also the only student building that provides hotel accommodations on site, where visiting family and friends can stay when they come to visit our residents. The hotel also accommodates professors, researchers, workshop attendees and many groups of international students that are placed at Sahara by the University.

We treat our residents like they are expensive works of art in a museum. Our gated community is protected with an infrared beam system that alerts the owner with an automatic cellphone call if someone trespasses by climbing over the walls. Our 80 security cameras record all events at the perimeter of the building and in the public areas.

And our staff who live on site are ready to respond if required. These are some of the reasons why in our 10 year history we have never received a “Red Tag” from the police department.

Offering shuttle service to and from the campus is now standard practice for a lot of buildings, but we do it every half hour from 7 AM to 7 PM, on every school day.

At Sahara, you can enjoy the privacy of having your own studio apartment for a lot less than a single occupancy room at the Residence Halls, or to share an apartment at one of the high rise buildings with people whose lifestyles may not be compatible with yours.

While we admit we are not for everybody, nor do we want to be, there is a lot more that you should know about Sahara before you decide what your choice of student housing should be.

Check out our website and find out why Sahara has become more popular each year as the word has spread that you can have a safe and quiet environment and still have fun.

UA’s Big A ANTHROPOLOGY CELEBRATES Founded by Byron Cummings, the renowned school and Arizona State Museum host special events

By Mike Chesnick When Byron Cummings came to the University of Arizona in 1915 to start what is now the School of Anthropology, UA President Rufus B. von KleinSchmid showed him a storage area and reportedly said, “Here’s the museum, go to it.”

Cummings not only got to it, but he made anthropology a focus of the Arizona State Museum and the university. By 1932, the department at UA included all four subfields of anthropology – archaeological, sociocultural, linguistic and biological.

“This remains a hallmark of UA Anthropology,” says Diane E. Austin, the school’s director, “especially as some (national) programs and disciplines have become narrower and narrower in focus.”

Austin and more than 100 faculty members are celebrating the UA

department’s centennial this year with several celebrations and tours in September and October, culminating with a December alumni colloquium on the School of Anthropology’s past and future. The National Research Council ranks UA as one of the best programs in the United States.

“Our practical application of anthropology to problems of human health and medicine, language and cultural preservation and revitalization, and migration and settlement in the face of environmental change are making a difference in the lives of people around the world,” Austin said.

And it all started 100 years ago, when Cummings left the University of Utah, where he was the head of Archaeology and also organized the school’s first football team. When Cummings arrived in Tucson, there were only 463 students and 70 faculty

Turns 100 members at the university.

But the Classics professor, who also taught Latin and Greek, quickly developed the UA into a leading archaeological field school with dedicated camps in Eastern Arizona that persisted for years, including the Kinishba Ruins on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.

One of his first three archaeology master’s graduates in 1928 was Emil W. Haury, who excavated the massive waterworks of the Tucson area’s early desert farmers, the Hohokam, and helped create the new scientific field of dendrochronology, or treering studies with UA astronomer A.E. Douglas. “Haury became one of the pre-eminent archaeologists of the 20th century,” said former UA director Raymond H. Thompson, who spoke at the Arizona State Museum’s 120th birthday in 2013.

Clara Lee Fraps (Tanner) and Florence M. Hawley (Ellis) also received master’s degrees in 1928, and both stayed on at UA as instructors with Haury for salaries of $1,500 each. All three helped Cummings improve the museum, which began in 1893.

In its early years, the museum moved to different sites on campus, including what is now the Forbes Building. It was Haury who helped put the museum in a new Roy Placedesigned brick building across the UA Mall from the current Arizona State Museum. The current facility just northeast of University and Park, another Place-designed building, opened in 1925 and served as the UA Main Library until 1977.

DID YOU KNOW? The UA School of Anthropology gave rise to the UA Press in 1959. Byron Cummings, the department’s first director, first wrote to the Arizona Board of Regents in 1927 asking if the university could establish its own printing and publishing house.

Eleven other departments at UA had their origins in Anthropology. anthropology museum in the Southwest. Visitors can see renowned collections of American Indian basketry, Southwest Indian pottery, Navajo textiles, Mexican folk masks and other objects.

Visitors can also take tours of the University Indian Ruin on Tucson’s east side, a 13-acre historic property that encompasses the central part of a Classic period Hohokam village occupied between A.D. 1150 and 1450 and archaeological research facilities built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1935 and 1937. Dorothy A. Knipe donated the core of the Indian Ruin to the UA in 1934, Austin said, with the condition it be used to provide an outdoor laboratory for training UA archaeology students.

Tumamoc Hill, a Hohokam site west of downtown, also is a UA Anthropology site, along with the Mission Garden downtown.

The garden is a re-creation of the Spanish Colonial walled garden that was part of historic San Agustin Mission and features heirloom plants representing the area’s 4,000-year agricultural history.

How does Austin see the next 100 years of anthropology at UA? “In this interconnected world with growing pressures on environmental systems and human societies, anthropology and anthropologists have much to offer,” she says. "… I see our school retaining its core and at the same time evolving and changing to meet those needs.”

Fresh Idea URBAN FARM FLOURISHES David Gilmore photo

At Tucson Village Farm, a UA and county program, kids and adults can grow, pick and eat healthy food

farm’s goals of teaching kids how to grow and prepare fresh food – and empower them to make healthy life choices.

“The greatest thing about working here is having a child, or an adult for that matter, harvest a carrot,” says Elizabeth Sparks, a UA faculty member and the 4-H extension agent.

“When they pull the carrot out of the ground, they are totally surprised;

they weren’t expecting it. And then when they taste it—after properly washing it, of course—they can’t believe how good it tastes.”

The farm offers five programs for youths, including “Li’l Sprouts,” “Growing Forward” K-12 Agriculture and Nutrition Program, “Digging Deeper” Middle and High School Service Learning Program, 4-H Healthy Living Ambassadors and Farm Camp.

By Mike Chesnick Just a short drive north from the UA campus sits Tucson Village Farm, where thousands of youths have helped the University of Arizona and the Pima County Cooperative Extension turn a barren lot into an urban garden oasis in the last five years.

One of the farm’s biggest fans does not get much bigger: the First Lady.

“You guys are leading the way.

You are doing great work!” Michelle Obama said about the Tucson Village Farm, 4210 N. Campbell Ave., just south of the Rillito wash.

The First Lady’s campaign to fight childhood obesity with a better diet and exercise fits in nicely with the

experiment and may offer that again in the fall.

Tucson Village Farm plans to host its sixth-annual Harvest Festival in mid-November, a free event with healthy cooking demonstrations and samples, a farmer’s market, live music, food trucks, a petting zoo and other activities for kids.

“We had more than 2,000 people attend last year. It’s so fun and educational,” Carter says.

Monitor the farm website or Facebook page for the festival's date and time. The farm’s Facebook posts offer lots of information, including tasty recipes and available produce, including peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, okra, squash, garlic, onions, eggplant, greens, herbs and melons. The farm planted pumpkins in July, which will be ready for Halloween and Thanksgiving this fall.

“People should come to the farm to see food growing in its natural state,” Sparks says. “Right in the middle of town, they can come to our U-Pick market and harvest their own fresh vegetables to take home. Plus, it helps a good cause, shopping or donating to the farm, because it provides educational programs … for youth.”

“We’ve changed a lot of people’s minds about vegetables,” says Sparks, who oversees operations of the farm.

“We see it time and time again, people saying, ‘Oh, my child doesn’t like kale’ and they turn around and their child is wolfing down a kale salad.”

You don’t have to be a kid to enjoy Tucson Village Farm.

Visitors can pick their own produce at market prices every Tuesday.

The U-Pick runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the fall, 3 to 5 in the winter and 5 to 7 in the summer (check the farm’s Facebook page for details). It’s best to wear close-toed shoes and bring a reusable bag if possible.

You also can volunteer on Monday mornings (8:30 a.m. to noon, earlier in summer). Email the farm at volunteertvf@gmail.com for the full list of opportunities.

“Anybody can come out and volunteer, although it’s hopeful to have a heads-up, so there is meaningful work for people,” says Leza Carter, founder of the farm and program coordinator.

Carter said the farm sold produce on some Saturdays in the spring as an

Rattle and Hum ZONA ZOO LOUDER THAN EVER Thirteen years after getting its nickname, UA’s rowdy student section earns national honors

Students make some noise and hold up a big-head photo of Stanley Johnson at McKale Center last season.

By Mike Chesnick “A” Team. McKale Maniacs.

Lutatics. Bat Cave?

In November 2002, judges considered those names and hundreds of others in a contest to name UA’s student section at McKale Center on the eve of the No. 1-ranked Wildcats’ home basketball opener against Western Kentucky.

Thankfully, former student senator Peter Wand says now, the panel picked a name submitted by Jennie Won, a junior Marketing major. She combined “Zona,” one of the team’s national nicknames during its 1997 national title run, with “Zoo,” inspired by the fans' rowdy nature.

And so “Zona Zoo” was born.

Wand, with help from then-UA associate athletic director Scott MacKenzie and student senator Andy Hottovy, rushed to design and print the Zoo logo on about 2,000 T-shirts and give them out free to students with season tickets before the opener.

“We were leaning toward the ‘Lutatics,’ ” says Wand, referring to then-coach Lute Olson. “While he appreciated the sentiment, Coach Olson

took the high road and explained that he wanted this student section to last for decades, not just for the remainder of his tenure, and advised us to go with the Zona Zoo. “We also saw the value of a name that could be used at other sports, and we settled on the Zona Zoo.” Indeed, the section became a big hit at UA football games, too, and coach Rich Rodriguez and basketball coach Sean Miller along with players have credited the Zoo with helping them win games.

The section has gained national fame, being featured on ESPN GameDay and being named the 2015 Student Section of the Year by the National Collegiate Student Section Association. Zona Zoo beat out Florida’s Rowdy Reptiles, and UA students accepted the award in June at Indiana State. “(The award) was awesome,” says Inyene Udoinwang, the current Zona Zoo executive director. “The Zoo is so dedicated – lining up hours before tip-off, singing ‘Bear Down’ at the top of their lungs, and keeping the energy all game long.”

Gonzaga learned about that energy

the hard way last Dec. 6 when one of its players facing the boisterous UA student section missed three straight free throws with six seconds left in overtime and Arizona up by three.

Zoo members waved white balloons, screamed and stomped. “(The player) stood up to the line and I was like, ‘He has no chance against us,” former Zoo executive director Jacob Borcover told the Arizona Daily Star.

Added Udoinwang: “The Zoo was so loud and intimidating that we made (Byron) Wesley air-ball a free throw! He was so nervous. We fed off that and ended up winning.”

If a free-throw shooter misses, the Zoo will yell, “Nice shot, Woody.”

Zoo members also hold up big heads of players and celebrities, turn their backs when the opposing lineup is announced and shout “bounce, bounce” and “pass” at opposing players at the start of a half.

Fans often catch themselves watching the Zoo instead of the game.

That happens at Arizona Stadium, too, where students stand most of the football game behind the UA bench, shouting “Dee-fense” at a deafening

HOW TO BECOME A ZONA ZOO MEMBER Go to http://zonazoo.wix. com/zonazoo and sign up.

Membership for both football and basketball games is $150. You can also get information at www. arizonawildcats.com/zonazoo “So, for football, Zona Zoo members wake up, dress up in their red Zona Zoo shirt, and head to the mall with their friends to the Zona Zoo tailgate. After they’ve filled up on free food and won some free stuff, they go to Arizona Stadium and wait for kickoff. … You’re going to be yelling for a win. It’s an incredible feeling.

roar to disrupt opposing offenses, or carrying Wilbur Wildcat through the crowd on his back. The Zoo came up with a new chant before kickoff, with members putting their arms around each other, swinging back and forth and chanting “Zona.”

Both student sections unfurl a gigantic Zona Zoo banner over heads in the crowd to start the second half, but Udoinwang explains how game day is different in football and basketball:

The Zona Zoo showed up early at McKale to celebrate ESPN’s College GameDay.

“For basketball, you put on your favorite UA apparel and head to McKale early to wait in line. Once your Cat Card is scanned, you’re power walking to find the best seat. “Bring Em Out” blasts through the arena and the team jogs out and … the Zoo is rumbling; it feels electric. You’re bouncing on your heels by tip-off.”

Zona Zoo membership to see both basketball and football games is $150, and students must present their Cat Cards at the gate. Admittance for both is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

But in basketball, only the first 2,990 Zoo members who reserve seats online will get into McKale.

Udoinwang, from Phoenix, became a Zoo patron during freshman orientation.

“I wanted to learn the cheers and see every win possible,” she says.

“Buying my Zoo pass was one of my best decisions.”

Back in 2002, Jennie Won told the Arizona Daily Wildcat, “I think the name Zona Zoo will visibly unite the student section.”

She was right, says Wand, now a law partner at Lewis Roca Rothgerber LLP in Phoenix, recalling the Zoo’s 2002 debut against Western Kentucky after he and others delivered the free shirts and a program with information about the Zoo’s common chants.

“As game time approached, we weren’t sure anyone would even wear the Zona Zoo shirts, much less create the kind of intimidating home-court atmosphere we were trying to foster,” Wand says. “Our fears were quickly erased when the students started pouring into McKale about an hour before tipoff wearing their Zoo shirts – many with their faces painted and signs in their hands. ...

“The students were great, and the Cats beat the Hilltoppers by 39.”

What if Wand and the panel had picked the "Bat Cave," a studentsection name suggested by then-UA guard Jason Gardner?

“After some initial laughter, Jason made it clear that he wasn’t kidding and spent more than a few minutes arguing in support of his entry,” Wand recalls. “While we appreciated Jason’s contribution to the panel, the rest of us couldn’t figure out what the “Bat Cave” had to do with basketball in Tucson, Arizona.”

OPENS WEDNESDAy, OcTObER 14 Online exhibition “La Vida Fronteriza, church, economy and daily life: excerpts from the De la Torre Family Papers” features materials documenting the De la Torre family and their involvement in the Cristero Movement, a revolt by Catholics against the Mexican government that occurred in response to anti-Catholic legislation. In the early 20th century, the family traveled from central Mexico to Nogales, Sonora bringing the Movement to northern Mexico. La Vida Fronteriza is a valuable resource for those interested in researching the U.S.-Mexico borderlands’ 20th century history, particularly as it pertains to political upheavals, relations between church and state and daily life in Sonora and other Mexican northern states.

Hundreds of thousands were permanently disabled by battlefield injuries or surgery, which saved lives by sacrificing limbs. “Life and Limb: The Toll of the Civil War” explores the experiences of these veterans, who served as a symbol of the fractured nation and a stark reminder of the costs of the conflict.

On Friday, Oct. 22, a White Out TG will be held on the UA mall, in front of Old Main, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., with 1965 UA grad and television personality Geraldo Rivera acting as an emcee.

The UA Campus Arboretum placed in the top 10 in recent rankings by bestcollegesonline.org, which looked at the “50 Most Amazing University Botanical Gardens and Arboretums in the U.S.”

Based on specific criteria and methodology, the UA received seven points, finishing behind Cal, University of Chicago, Minnesota and Washington (nine points) and Tennessee and Virginia (eight points).

Hawaii and UConn also received seven points.

According to the website, the top 50 arboretums not only “beautify their campuses and communities, they also serve as environmental stewards, outdoor classrooms and living laboratories. These university botanical gardens and arboretums add value to the college experience by offering hands-on learning experiences and research opportunities that students won’t find anywhere else.”

Part of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the UA Campus Arboretum is home to over a thousand species of trees, shrubs, cacti

and other plants native to North America and the world. The top 50 rankings rewarded UA’s Arboretum for its community outreach program, which hosts a Tree Stewards Program and offers workshops and presentations to promote environmental leadership. In 2010, UA was named a “Tree Campus USA” by the National Arbor Day Foundation. Go to http:// arboretum.arizona.edu/tree_tours for more information.

Greener Old Main

The U.S. Green Building Council recently awarded Old Main with its LEED silver certification in recognition of the iconic building’s

sustainable renovation. At 123 years, Old Main is the oldest building in Arizona to receive LEED certification.

The $13.5 million renovation project, completed in May 2014, already was ahead of its time.

In 1891, constructors sunk Old Main 6 feet below the surface, so the ground would help minimize the effects of Tucson’s hot summers.

The patio and porch are popular gathering areas to enjoy lunch and watch UA Mall activities.

Other main campus buildings with LEED platinum certification include the Student Recreation Center and residence halls Árbol de la Vida and Likins.

ThURSDAy, SEPTEmbER 17 “The Architecture of Worship” Afruz Amighi. The architecture of worship is manifest as a house of prayer, a mausoleum, a secret niche inside a home, a white ghost bike on a desolate Bushwick street. The power of the shrine is its ability to interrupt time and create stillness. The act of shrine building is an ancient human compulsion. Amighi will

discuss her choice of forms, medium, light and shadow, which are governed by the desire to recreate this sensation, somewhere inside the moment where we suspend belief.

TUESDAy, OcTObER 20 “Monuments We Can Live With” Steve Kurtz. This lecture is grounded in the premise that the zenith of authoritarian cultural production is the monument.

Found worldwide, these public nuisances function as concrete reinforcements of sameness, the inherent good of the status quo, and the centralization of power. This lecture asks if monumentality could be reconfigured in a manner that would lend the form to more democratic tendencies that reinforce difference and distributed power. Steven Kurtz is a professor of art at the State University of New York at Buffalo and a founding member of Critical Art Ensemble (CAE).

ThURSDAy, NOVEmbER 19 “Species of Exceptionalism: The Borders of Art History and American Studies in the Anthropocene” Alan Braddock. Since the 1960s, scholars in Art History and American Studies have made significant strides in opening their disciplinary borders to new interpretative methods and human demographics. Yet, for most scholars in both of these fields, one border remains more or less intact and inviolable: the species border. This presentation highlights some recent and encouraging border crossings. Alan C. Braddock is the Ralph H. Wark Associate Professor of Art History and American Studies at the College of William & Mary, where he teaches courses on the history of art, ecology, and animal studies.

Maximize Your Student Housing Dollars!

See Sahara Apartments advantages compared to the rest.

Student housing properties offer many choices depending on your budget. But few offer safety, comfort, modern amenities, quiet environment, AND a low price. Yes, our lower monthly rents include all utilities, satellite TV hookup, and high-speed Internet.

Compared to the dorms:

Sahara offer many advantages compared to the dorms. While dorm rooms are just “rooms” Sahara studio apartments have their own private baths and kitchens. Whether you select single or double occupancy, you will be shocked by how much you can save compared to the dorms. When you consider that Sahara is only 1 mile west of the campus and offers free shuttle service every half hour, and free bicycles for you to ride, living at Sahara really is a no-brainer. How much will you save? Check our web site and click on “Floor Plans and Rental Rates” and then on “Sahara Versus UofA Rates”.

Compared to privately owned student properties:

At Sahara, you can rent a studio Apartment and live by yourself for a lot less than you would have to pay for a bed and bath in one of the new High Rise buildings. Or if your budget is the most important consideration, we can match you with a roommate so you will pay about 1/3 of what they would charge you at one of the High Rises.

There are other apartment buildings that also offer lower rates than the dorms and the High Rise Towers, but none offers the range of amenities and services that Sahara does. Some offer beautiful grounds but their beauty is only skin deep. Read the reviews about the apartments you are thinking of renting. One place to check is www.ApartmentRatings.com. The reason Sahara has such high ratings compared to most other buildings is that Sahara is the only major student property in Tucson that is locally owned and owner managed on a daily basis.

Here is a list of some of our amenities and services:

• Our famous “No Party” Policy creates a quiet environment 7 days a week.

• Sahara sponsors social events on-and offsite, and has recreational facilities to encourage exercise, games, and fun • Sahara studios: 2 to 2.5 times larger than a dorm room, all with full kitchen and bath • 100% FREE utilities • FREE bicycles to use for all residents • Heavy block construction for less room-to-room noise

• Pool, spa, workout room, social lounge, game room, computer center, 23-seat movie theater, and 12 laundry rooms • Gated property with state-of-the-art security, 80 security cameras, gated parking lot, and infra-red intrusion protection • Less than a mile from the Uof A • FREE shuttle to and from campus plus FREE nightly shopping shuttles • Quick-responding maintenance team

‘Butterflies of the Sea’ NOW STARRING AT FLANDRAU

By Mike Chesnick “Meet the Trilobites” is not a new Hollywood movie, but the family in this script is pretty darn interesting.

A family of nearly 20,000 species, that is.

Through February 2016, the UA’s Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium is hosting the exhibit, “Meet the Trilobites — Arizona’s First Inhabitants,” that displays fossils from across the world. Long before the dinosaurs ruled the earth, trilobites ruled the oceans for 270 million years. Classified as arthropods with a hard shell and jointed limbs, they ranged in size from less than an inch to nearly three feet in length and were ancient relatives of crabs and lobsters.

Look around Arizona, especially in

IF YOU GO What: “Meet the Trilobites – Arizona’s First Inhabitants” When: Through Feb. 6, 2016 Where: Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium, northeast corner Cherry Avenue and University Boulevard.

Admission: Adults $7.00, children 4-17: $5.00, children 3 and under free, senior/military/college students (with ID) $5.00

An exhibit of earth’s first inhabitants: trilobites the Grand Canyon, and you may see trilobites. They are found in layers of sedimentary rock all over the state because around 400 million years ago, much of Arizona was covered by warm shallow seas.

“Trilobites are fascinating creatures and have told us so much about the geologic record and geologic time,” says Shipherd Reed, Flandrau’s marketing and communications manager.

The changes and adaptations in trilobite populations across millions of years are a fossil road map for many fields of science – from geology to plate tectonics to evolutionary biology. There are 20,000 different species of trilobites in the fossil record – the most diverse group of any animal, scientists say.

Robert Hazen, a leading trilobite collector, and his wife, Margaret, donated or loaned many of the specimens in the UA exhibit. Hazen, a mineralogist and astrobiologist with the Carnegie Institution for Science, wrote “The Story of the Earth,” a history of the planet that highlights the interplay between the evolution of life and minerals. Specimens from another trilobite hunter, Jake Skabelund, also are showcased.

“I’m partial to the “Psychopyge elegans” specimen because it has gracefully curving spines on either side and a broadsword snout and looks very exotic,” Reed says.

Beside horseshoe crabs, lobsters and shrimp, trilobites’ other contemporary arthropods include scorpions, centipedes, spiders, ants and bees—insects frequently seen in Left: Psychopyge Photo courtesy Flandrau Science center and Planetarium

the Sonoran Desert.

The Paleozoic Era, which lasted roughly 300 million years, is often called the “Age of the Trilobites” because the anthropods dominated the primordial oceans during that time.

So what happened to them? At the end of the Paleozoic Era, about 240 million years ago, the last of the trilobites vanished along with 90 percent of all marine species during the Permian Extinction, the largest mass extinction in Earth’s history.

Scientists are still debating the reasons for that extinction. Theories include a catastrophic event— brought on by massive volcanism or a sudden release of methane from the sea floor—or gradual events driven by climate change, such as shifts in sea levels and ocean circulation and arid weather.

DID YOU KNOW? • The name “trilobite” means “three lobes,” or sections of the body. All trilobites, whether they are small (less than an inch) or big (nearly three feet in length) have a central lobe that runs from the head to the tail, and a lobe on either side.

• Trilobites survived much longer than most forms of life on earth— about 270 million years—and lived through mass-extinction events that wiped out many other ancient creatures.

• Today, the closest relative of the trilobites are horseshoe crabs.

• Trilobites are called the “butterflies of the sea,” with 20,000 species of fossils found across the world, including the himalayas.
