The group Trilobite existed from early in the Cambrian Period around 520 million years ago until the end of the Permian Period around 250 million years ago. They are the group of extinct fossil arthropods which are recognized by their distinctive three-lobed, three-segmented form. The trilobite body is also divided lengthwise into three regions: A head or cephalon A middle region thorax A tail plate called a pygidium Trilobites other arthropods had an external skeleton, called exoskeleton which is composed of chitinous material. Some trilobites were active predators, whereas others were scavengers and some of them ate plankton.  The fossils of trilobites are found in the rugged mountains of western Canada, the rolling plains of Eastern Europe, the scorching deserts of Northern Africa, and the verdant hills of Southern China. Trilobites can be discovered on every continent on earth where Paleozoic outcroppings exist.  There are many fossil stores where you can get...

A Brief on Tyrannosaurus, Pterosaur and Baculite Fossils

Before starting anything, first, we have to know what fossils are? Fossils are the preserved remains impressions of any once living-thing from the past geological age. Only a small fraction of ancient organisms are preserved as fossils, and the organisms that have a solid and resistant skeleton are readily preserved.  Fossils are important to us. They are tangible connections to life, landscapes and climates of the past.  There are five different types of fossils that include: Body fossils Molds and casts Petrification fossils Footprint and trackways Coprolites Tyrannosaurus Fossil Tyrannosaurus is a genus of coelurosaurian theropod dinosaur. The species Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most well-represented of the large theropods. Their fossils are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the Maastrichtian age, 68 to 66 million years ago.  Everything about Tyrannosaurus rex indicates the power of one of the largest theropod dinosaurs that ever existed. The first Ty...
