Welcome to #TrilobiteTuesday. Pictured is a 2.5-inch (6.4-centimeter)-long Olenellus fowleri from the Lower Cambrian of Nevada. What distinguishes this specimen from many others? It was its underside, rather than the more commonly seen dorsal side, that was preserved.
Bird's eye view of a trilobite fossil in stone. It is a light brown color; the surrounding stone is a simliar light brown color. The trilobite has a somewhat oval-shaped body with spiny protrusions lining the sides of its body; its smooth, rounded head is facing the right of the frame. It has a long needle-like tail on its hind-end, not unlike a horseshoe crab.

facebook.com/nbmmnb/ The 5th of April 1842 is generally considered the foundational date of the New Brunswick Museum. That is the day that Dr. Abraham Gesner opened Gesner’s Museum of Natural History to the public….but, like many narratives... #stonehammerrocks #discoversj
