Both fossils and trilobites are extremely old.  However, a trilobite was a creature that was living on Earth at some point that over time turned into a fossil, meaning a trilobite is one type of many different types of creates found in fossils.

Both fossils and trilobites are relatively new, both being around 1,000 years old.  However, fossils are only found underwater, whereas trilobites are found all over the globe.

Both fossils and trilobites are relatively new, both being around 1,000 years old.  However, trilobites are only found on the bottom of the ocean, whereas fossils are found only on land.

Both fossils and trilobites are ancient, but while fossils can encompass a wide range of living organisms, trilobites specifically refer to a type of extinct marine arthropod. Fossils can be found both on land and underwater, while trilobites are typically found in marine sedimentary rocks. Trilobites have a distinct segmented body with a hard exoskeleton, while fossils can vary greatly in appearance depending on the organism they represent.
