Arthropod systematics- most abundant organisms presently four Classes with many dozens of Orders Trilobita- trilobites Chelicerata- spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs Crustacea- crabs, shrimp, lobsters Uniramia- insects May be several other Classes that should be added, related to organisms found in the burgess shale and other localities (e.g., China).
