Moroccan
Devonian Trilobites are dug in Eastern Morocco. Just under 400 million
years ago this critter was alive and crawled along the bottom of a
shallow sea.
Trilobites
were a type of arthropods that lived in shallow seas. One of the
earliest known forms of advanced creatures they existed from at least
the early Cambrian (Oldest known Trilobite is from 521 million
years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic era
before beginning a drawn-out decline to extinction when they became
extinct in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 252
million years ago. Trace fossils from Pre Cambrian times are also often
believed to be from Trilobites but it is only a theory as there are no
known Pre Cambrian trilobites - possibly they never had hard shells
would explain that. Either way Trilobites are among the most successful
creatures ever to inhabit our planet - and with more than 20,000 known
species they can create a collectible in their own right. Every fossil
collection needs Trilobites.
