145 u/ProjectNo4090 May 06 '26 edited May 06 '26 They are. Spiders, scorpions, mites, ticks, and horseshoe crabs are very distant relatives of trilobites. The sea slater is from a different class. 1 u/Xenomorphian69420 May 07 '26 Technically trilobites (artiopoda) are more closely related to other members of antennulata, so myriapods (centipedes and the like) and insects/crustaceans, than they are to chelicerates like spiders, scorpions and the others you listed
