$30
Great intact Trilobite Fossil specimen in matrix.
According to the British Geological Survey, Trilobites rank among the most important early animals. Our knowledge of them has been gained from the study of their fossils, usually the impressions left of their shells after burial in sediment that subsequently hardened into rock.
They appeared abruptly in the early part of the Cambrian Period and came to dominate the Cambrian and early Ordovician seas. A prolonged decline then set in before they finally became extinct at the end of the Permian Period, about 250 million years ago.
