- Lobsters, like all animals with exoskeletons, periodically shed their armor as they grow.
- The advantage of an internal skeleton is that it allows the animal to grow much larger than is the case with the arthropod type exoskeleton.
- In these specimens the external surface of the exoskeleton is present, unless complete or partial exfoliation is noted.
- The trilobites comprise a major class-level clade of extinct marine arthropods characterized by calcareous, multisclerite, dorsal exoskeletons.

Example sentencesExamples
- One modification in trilobites might be that the selection was primarily for exoskeletal morphology rather than limb structure.

- Both have sophisticated recognition abilities based on olfactory cues emanating from the exoskeletal cuticle.
- In this paper we report the discovery of a nearly complete trilobite fossil over 680 mm long that yields a reconstructed exoskeletal length of more than 720 mm.
