trilobite life habits



Hi everybody.

I am presently preparing a lecture on aspects of trilobite life and
behaviour.  I wonder if anyone have views on this they might want to share
with me (and the paleonetters). The aspects I am mos interested in is 1)
problems of respiration and 2) food uptake; what different types ate
(deposit-, suspension-feeding and predation) and the mechanisms they used
for obtaining it, but all contributions on every aspect are welcome.

In addition I wonder if anyone has a list of all trilobite species found
with preserved legs (preferably with references), according to Bergstroem &
Brassel (Lethaia 1984) it should be 16 species.

Thanks in advance
