The Trilobites - American TV

A tiny, glowing Asteromajia trilobite from the Middle Cambrian of China. This specimen is preserved on a thin calcite sheet that separated from thicker shale matrix, revealing a translucent #fossil that glows when backlit. The dark patches represent the hypostome and possibly traces of the gut. This specimen will be available on my shop later today! . . #fossils #bugs #fossilhunter #rockhound paleontologist paleontology geologist canada Toronto deeptime nature biology adventure explore discovery
