Although they are now
extinct, Anthropoids flourished in the sea, from the Cambrian through
the Permian Periods. Trilobites were hard-shelled, segmented
creatures that existed over 300 million years ago in the ancient
seas. They went extinct before the dinosaurs even existed, and are
the signature creatures of the Paleozoic Era.
Trilobites are made up of eight orders, over 150 families, about
5,000 genera and over 15,000 described species. Most Trilobites are
one inch long, however they have been found measuring two feet! The
appeal of the trilobite is that you can hold and examine an entire
fossil in your hand.
These are collector specimens with limited availability.
