Fossil – Trilobite (Flexicalymene)

Fossil – Trilobite (Flexicalymene)
Explore the Earth's ancient past with this fossilized trilobite from the genus Flexicalymene – a large and impressive representative of one of the most successful life forms that ever existed. This species lived around 425-500 million years ago in shallow seas during the Ordovician and Silurian periods – long before dinosaurs had even taken their first steps.

Trilobites survived for almost 300 million years, evolving thousands of species adapted to different marine environments. Their segmented bodies gave them both flexibility and protection, and they were often fossilized thanks to their hard exoskeleton. A true prehistoric animal – literally older than the dinosaurs.
