Cambrian Trilobite clade

Описание: Cambrian Trilobite clade model from Paleozoo.

Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods from the Paleozoic Era (~500 mya ~ 250 mya). The longevity of their existence makes Trilobites important index fossils - helping to define and date the age of periodic horizons.

The Trilobite Clade is characterized by a flattened oval body - comprised of a three part segmented exoskeleton. Compound eyes and podomere limbs with branching gills (biramous limbs) are additional defining features of trilobites.

Paleozoo Evolutionary Models are high quality portraits of some of the first animals to evolve on Earth. They are the work of paleoartist Bruce Currie.
