Mini Trilobite in Magnifier Box with ID Card.
Unlock the secrets of ancient marine life with this fascinating Mini Trilobite, it is a perfect blend of scientific wonder and educational appeal. This authentic trilobite fossil, a member of the extinct class Trilobita, dates back to the Paleozoic era, spanning approximately 541–252 million years ago. Sourced primarily from the Devonian deposits of Morocco or the Cambrian strata of Utah, such as the Wheeler Formation, this mini trilobite fossil (measuring approximately 0.5 inch in length) showcases the iconic segmented exoskeleton, cephalon (head), thorax, and pygidium (tail) of these ancient arthropods. Common genera like Phacops, Elrathia, or Asaphiscus are often featured, known for their complex compound eyes, articulated body segments, and calcite-based exoskeletons that fossilized remarkably well.
Encased in a clear, magnifying display box that enhances the intricate details of its morphology, this fossil gift includes a detailed ID card outlining the scientific significance, geological origin, and evolutionary history of the trilobite fossil. Trilobites were among the first animals to develop advanced sensory systems, with some species possessing schizochroal eyes—unique, lens-like structures for enhanced vision in murky ancient seas. Thriving in diverse Paleozoic marine ecosystems, trilobites ranged from scavengers to predators, leaving behind over 20,000 described species. This mini trilobite, preserved in fine sedimentary rock, is ideal for fossil collectors, paleontology enthusiasts, or anyone captivated by ancient fossils. Its compact size and magnifying box make it perfect for desks, classrooms, or as a unique paleontology gift or stocking filler.
