Thought I'd give you a look at some of the trilobites we brought back from Utah. Trilobites are an extinct marine arthropod from the Paleozoic era. When I was trying to describe them to my sister I told her they looked like Egyptian scarabs, Mac says they were like prehistoric cockroaches.
Anyway, here they are.
Fascinating. I think I like the fossils better than I would the living creature though ;)
ReplyDeleteTheir name makes them sound like some kind of hors d'oeuvre. Definitely scarab-like!
ReplyDeleteThey do look rather like scarab beetles. I suspect that Mac would enjoy the Jurassic coast of Dorset and Devon - have you been there?
ReplyDeleteWe have visited the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, have always meant to return.
