Trilobite eyes are so cool and one of the oldest forms of compound eyes. Individual calcite lenses.
A great opportunity on the horizon for someone!

Welcome to Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is Asaphus kowalewski. This 450-million-year-old species stands apart from other trilobites with its eyes perched atop 2-in- (5-cm-) long stalks. To some, Asaphus kowalewski may look like an animal from a distant galaxy!

Pictured is the Lower Cambrian Bristolia insolens—distinguished by the genal spines that emerge from its head. While specimens with disarticulated head shields are relatively common finds throughout the Western United States, complete examples are rare.

#trilobites are so cool they are practically vertebrates!
"How could these intricate features have avoided decay and still be here to see half a billion years later?"
An astonishing find! #trilobites

Happy #FossilFriday with these rusophycus, cruziana, and planolites trace fossils from east TN! These were found at a thrust fault in the Great Smoky thrust fault belt on a field trip from UT Knoxville’s field methods course.

One of the best prepared #trilobites I own, just look at the eye detail! This is a stunning example of a Hollardops mesocristatare from the Devonian. #fossilfriday #palaeontology #ancient #fossils
Once figured in Harry Blackmore Whittington's book Trilobites, this is a stunning example of the #Silurian fossil Dalmanites myops!

A photo of a sample with three trilobite fossils and a $2000 price tag. Next to it are two small dinosaur footprints for $500 each.
The high price found at the Montreal Gem and Mineral show (runs today until 5pm at the Palais des congrès).

The dinosaur footprints are only $500 each!

Found this handsome Triarthrus digging for bugs with @drmarkbourrie.bsky.social . I think I will call him Berthold. #trilobites #fossils
Also more trilobite pottery because why not?! Perfect for a small cookie or piece of chocolate… or one cracker and cheese …

A long white pottery plate with three black trilobite fossils etched and painted on it. Behind the plate is a white pottery cup with an iridescent trilobite painted on it.
For trilobite Tuesday, here are SOME of my trilobite collection

I’m a bit obsessed with her pottery
