Description: | The photograph shows two different views of a fossil trilobite. The remains of the head are shown in the left picture. The picture on the right shows the segmented body and rounded tail (pygidium). Most trilobites crawled about on the seabed scavenging for food. The stomach was located in their head! Trilobites became extinct at the end of the Permian period, about 245 million years ago. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | fossils natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
