[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Trilobites (from Latin tri = three and lobus = lobe), is an invertebrate animal of the crustaceous class, whose essential characteristic, is a body differentiated in three regions: cephalic shield (Cephalon), Thorax and 'caudal' region(Pigidio).
Its evolution begins in the Cambrian Period, in the fossiliferous deposit of Burgess Shale in British Columbia (Canada), where they have appeared some artropodes like Marella and Waptia.
Trilobites, like artropode, has a exoskeleton that consists of a certain number of segments, some of which are fused to each other, whereas others are free. Each segment is divided in an average or axial part and lateral or pleurals parts. The dorsal exoskeleton is marked by a pair of furrows or striae that separate the axial region of the pleurals, those that have an internal relief where the muscles adhere that drive the locomotive members.

Hello Marjan,Very good to see these fossils in-situ like this. Usually on,y seen in museums. Interesting note. TFS. Murray.

Hello Marjan
Nice capture and interesting composition.
Amazing that these fosilized trilobites have survived for 505 million years. I find paleontology so interesting. The BC Government has tours up to the Burgess Shale. I havn't done it but would love to.

I love trilobites, I have a few examples myself. I have one with the fossil cast as well. I don't have several together like this. Great composition and details. Great note

Curiosa imagen y estupenda nota informativa, bastante amplia.
Saludos, JL.

Veselé Vánoce, Marjan.

Did you get this photo near Field BC?


I love the pun, Trilobits ... although yours are mostly "whole".

I think the photo can use a wee sharpening and minor adjustments. I have attempted a workshop. What do you think?

So long, Jay

Hi Marjan.
I always like to look at part of natural history in a photo, it is amazing to be able to see and touch something that lived 300 million years ago, and this is a good group of them!
Nice note too, I enjoyed, thanks.

Hi Marjan,
Very interesting captured.
Thanks for sharing it.
