The ancient trilobites

Trilobites are considered the greatest survivors in Earth's history as they have witnessed so much more of our distant past than any other organism or animal. They were very adaptable creatures & made it through 300 million years of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions & ice ages. Although there were roughly 17,000 different known species of trilobites, their best known descendant today is the horseshoe crab. It is believed they went extinct about 250 million years ago. This piece is amazing having captured at least 4 quite large ones all together. We have quite a few different species & sizes to choose from. Check out our stores & website for more!
