Well preserved specimens of Trilobites Flexicalymene Ouzregui.
The Trilobites were a group of arthropods whose name tri-lobi-tes alludes to their body that was divided into 3 parts.
These marine invertebrates lived in the ancient seas and oceans, they were planktonic, swimming or crawling creatures and their diet was basically scavenger, detritus or predatory.
They initially appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian period (570 mya ago) and became extinct in the late Permian period (240 mya ago). Trilobites are closely related to modern horseshoe crabs.
Deposits: Today it is possible to find fossil remains of trilobites on all continents.
The fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the image)
Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
