Trilobita
Trilobites are ancient sea creatures that lived long before dinosaurs. They had hard shells and many legs, like tiny armored bugs of the past.
Hábitat: Marine
The Trilobite has a distinctive three-lobed body, segmented lengthwise and across, covered by a hard exoskeleton. Its body is typically oval or elongated with a prominent head, a multi-segmented middle section, and a tail plate. While fossilized, some likely displayed dark, earthy tones or mottled patterns.
