Trilobite - Pocket Fossil

No creature exemplified the diverse nature of life more than the trilobite. This class of arthropods formed a staggering amount of different species throughout the Cambrian period. Today, over 5,000 different genera of trilobites have been discovered and named, with more surely waiting to be discovered. Hardy and resilient sea creatures, trilobites are a shining example of the adaptability of life on Earth. Their fossilized exoskeletons are found almost everywhere, with species evolved for hunting in schools, voyages in open waters, and even short trips on dry land. This specimen is a 5-10 mm fossilized trilobite sourced from Morocco, housed in a black box that fits in your pocket. The box also comes with an informational card that serves as statement of authenticity. Please Note: Each trilobite is a unique individual. Positioning and coloring will vary widely. Some are flat and some are curled in a ball-like position. This is completely normal.
